Restoring the factory contents by using Recovery Disc Set
When the hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) is replaced because of a failure, no product recovery
program is on the new drive. In this case, you must use the Recovery Disc Set for the computer. Order the
Recovery Disc Set and the drive at the same time so that you can recover the new drive with the pre-installed
software when they arrive. For information on which discs to order, see "Recovery discs" on page 108.
The recovery disc set consists of the user instructions and the following set of DVDs to restore the computer
to the original factory configuration.
Operating System Recovery Disc (one disc)
This disc restores the Microsoft
process.
Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc (one or more discs)
This disc restores the preinstalled applications and drivers on the computer.
Supplemental Recovery Disc
This disc contains additional content, such as updates to the software that was preinstalled on the
computer. Not all recovery disc sets come with a Supplemental Recovery Disc.
Notes:
• You must have a DVD drive to use the recovery discs. If you do not have an internal DVD drive, you
can use an external USB DVD drive.
• During the recovery process, all data on the drive will be deleted. If possible, copy any important data
or personal files that you want to keep onto removable media or a network drive before you start the
recovery process.
To restore the computer to the original factory configuration using the recovery disc set, do the following:
Note: Recovery can take one to two hours to complete. The length of time depends on the method you use.
If you use recovery discs, the recovery process will take about two hours.
