Backing up your information

Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system repair media
and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software and data files, you
should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
For more information on the Windows backup features, see Windows Help and Support.

Performing a system recovery

There are several options for recovering your system. Choose the method that best matches your situation
and level of expertise:
When your tablet is not working properly and you need to regain system stability, the Windows Refresh
option allows you to start fresh and keep what is important to you. For more information, see Windows
Help and Support.
Windows recovery tools: You can use Windows Backup and Restore to recover information you have
previously backed up. You can also use Windows Startup Repair to fix problems that might prevent
Windows from starting correctly. See
F11 HP Recovery tools: You can use the F11 tools to recover your original hard drive image. The image

personal information before you give away or recycle your tablet. For more information on these
features, see Windows Help and Support.
NOTE:
If you are unable to boot (start up) your tablet, contact support.
