42 Getting Started Recovering the Internal Storage Drive Recovery option Description Restoring from recovery media This option allows you to restore your system from the recovery media you created. You can remove all data from your system and reinstall Windows®. See "Recovering from a USB Recovery PBR (Push Button Reset)" on page 50. A recovery image of your device is stored on the internal storage drive, and the image can be restored by running the recovery utilities directly from your internal storage drive as described in the sections below. However, it is strongly recommended that you create recovery media. If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery media. It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media before using your system for the first time. See "Creating a PBR (Push Button Reset) USB Recovery" on page 43 and "Recovering from a USB Recovery PBR (Push Button Reset)" on page 50.

Any files that you created are not restored during this process. Be sure to separately save the files you have created to external media using Windows® or another backup program.
