General tips for installing hardware and software Here are a few tips to help ensure safe and easy installation of new hardware (printers, pointing devices, external hard drives, optional external writable optical disc drives, scanners, etc.) and software applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe® Photoshop®, or utility software such as special toolbars for your web browser. ❖ Create a restore point (refer to "Saving system configuration with restore points" on page 130). Before installing anything, use the System Restore utility to set a restore point (see the section titled restore points). If anything goes wrong, you will then be able to easily restore the Windows operating system to the state it was in prior to the installation, undoing any changes that the installation process introduced. ❖ Back up your critical data (see "Backing up your data or your entire computer with the Windows operating system" on page 132). ❖ Have your back up media on hand in case you need any files from them.
