To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment: ● Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot. These environmental factors can increase the temperature inside your computer or cause fire or electrocution. ● Do not disable the power cord grounding pin. The grounding pin is an important safety feature. ● Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times. ● Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure of the CD or DVD drive. ● The power supply is preset for the country or region in which you purchased your computer. If you move, check the voltage requirements for your new location before plugging the computer into an AC outlet. To reduce the risk of serious injury read the Safety & Comfort Guide. To access this guide, go to http://www.hp.com/ergo. 1. Place the computer so that all ventilation openings are unobstructed and cabling is not in a walkway or where it can be stepped on or damaged by placing furniture on it. 2. When connecting all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), it is recommended that you use a power surge protection detection device. If the computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection, protect the computer by using surge protection with these signal inputs as well.

The information in the chapter is standard procedure for most products. ● Creating recovery media and backups ● Restoring and recovering your system For additional information, refer to the HP support assistant app. ▲ Type support in the taskbar search box, and then select the HP Support Assistant app. ‒ or – Click the question mark icon in the taskbar. IMPORTANT: If you will be performing recovery procedures on a tablet, the tablet battery must be at least 70% charged before you start the recovery process. IMPORTANT: For a tablet with a detachable keyboard, connect the keyboard to the keyboard dock before beginning any recovery process. Creating recovery media and backups The following methods of creating recovery media and backups are available on select products only. Choose the available method according to your computer model. ● Use HP Recovery Manager to create HP Recovery media after you successfully set up the computer. This step creates a backup of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup can be used to reinstall the original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced. For information on creating recovery media, see Creating HP Recovery media (select products only) on page 15. For information on the recovery options that are available using the recovery media, see Using Windows tools on page 16. ● Use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information. For more information, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 17. NOTE: If storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft System Restore is disabled by default. Creating HP Recovery media (select products only) If possible, check for the presence of the Recovery partition and the Windows partition. From the Start menu, select File Explorer, and then select My computer. ● If your computer does not list the Windows partition and the Recovery partition, you can obtain recovery media for your system from support. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/ support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions. Creating recovery media and backups 15 You can use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information, see Using Windows tools on page 16. ● If your computer does list the Recovery partition and the Windows partition, you can use HP Recovery Manager to create recovery media after you successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory and then configures the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or restore the factory image if you replace the hard drive. ◦ Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in a safe place. ◦ HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for the media that will be required. ◦ To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or, instead, you can use a high-quality blank USB flash drive. ◦ If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain recovery discs for your computer from HP. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/ support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions. ◦ Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media. ◦ The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process. ◦ If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery DVDs. HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue. To create HP Recovery media: IMPORTANT: For a tablet with a detachable keyboard, connect the keyboard to the keyboard dock before beginning these steps. 1. Type recovery in the taskbar search box, and then select HP Recovery Manager. 2. Select Create recovery media, and then follow the on-screen instructions. If you ever need to recover the system, see Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 17. Using Windows tools You can create recovery media, system restore points, and backups of personal information using Windows tools. NOTE: If storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft System Restore is disabled by default. For more information and steps, see the Get started app. ▲ 16 Select the Start button, and then select the Get started app. Chapter 6 Backing up, restoring, and recovering Restore and recovery There are several options for recovering your system. Choose the method that best matches your situation and level of expertise: IMPORTANT: ● Windows offers several options for restoring from backup, refreshing the computer, and resetting the computer to its original state. For more information see the Get started app. ▲ ● Not all methods are available on all products.
