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 122.
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

Windows operating system. Use this disc
to start the recovery 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:
v 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.
