Chapter 3. Recovery system

 Introduction
Push-button reset is a built-in recovery tool that enables users to restore their operating system
to its original state. This preserves their data and important customizations, without the need to
back up their data in advance.
The following Push-button reset features are available to users from multiple locations
within Windows:
Refreshing the computer
Fixes software problems by reinstalling the factory default configuration. This preserves the
user's data, important settings, and any Windows Store apps previously purchased from the
Windows Store.
Resetting the computer
Prepares the computer for recycling or transfer of ownership. This reinstalls the factory default
configuration and returns all user data and applications to the state of their original Out-of-Box
Experience (OOBE).

When I purchased my computer, it included a copy of Windows. How can I determine whether the
copy of Windows is preinstalled by Lenovo?
On the outside of the sales package of your computer, you should find a label containing
configuration information for your computer. Check the printed string next to OS. If it contains
Windows or WIN, the copy of Windows was preinstalled by Lenovo.
What is the Recovery Partition?
If your computer is preinstalled with any version of Windows 10, the storage device of your
computer contains a Recovery Partition. This partition contains the image file of the preinstalled
Windows operating system. In cases of system failure, you can use the Lenovo OneKey Recovery
system or the Windows Reset feature to restore the operating system to its factory status.
Note: The Recovery Partition is not assigned a drive letter and cannot be accessed through Windows File
Explorer.
