Restoring Your Operating System
System Restore
Windows operating systems provide a System
Restore option which allows you to return your
computer to an earlier operating state (without
affecting data files) if changes to the hardware,
software, or other system settings have left the
computer in an undesirable operating state. Any
changes that System Restore makes to your
computer are completely reversible.
NOTICE: Make regular backups of your
data files. System Restore does not monitor
your data files or recover them.
NOTE: The procedures in this document
were written for the Windows default view,
so they may not apply if you set your Dell
™
computer to the Windows Classic view.
Starting System Restore
Click 1. Start
.
In the 2. Start Search box, type System
Restore and press <Enter>.
NOTE: The User Account Control window
may appear. If you are an administrator on
the computer, click Continue; otherwise,
contact your administrator to continue the
desired action.
Click 3. Next and follow the remaining prompts
on the screen.
In the event that System Restore did not resolve
the issue, you may undo the last system restore.
