2.2 OneKey Recovery
Main functions:
1. If a Windows operating system is preinstalled in your computer, the OneKey
Recovery function works in the following way:
Recover Factory Backup: Recover the computer system partition (drive C) to
the original factory default settings.
Note: After this operation, all existing data in the system partition will
be lost and other partitions on the disk will remain unchanged. In order
to prevent loss of data, be sure to backup important data before this
operation.
2. If a Windows operating system is not preinstalled in your computer, the
OneKey Recovery function will instead contain the following two functions:
Create base backup: Without factory backup, the Lenovo OneKey Recovery
enables you to backup all data of the current system partition manually after
installing the operating system and common software. Upon completion of
base backup, you can use the Recover Base Backup function to recover the
system partition to the original factory default settings.
Note: Create base backup only can be used once. Once the user has
performed the operation of base backup, this operation cannot be used
anymore. It is recommended to perform this operation after installing
the Windows operating system and the drivers & software shipped
together with the computer. Otherwise, the backup space is insufficient.
Recover base backup: This operation recovers the computer system partition
(drive C) to the state of base backup.
Note: After this operation, all existing data in the system partition will
be lost, and other partitions on the disk will remain unchanged. In order
to prevent loss of data, be sure to backup important data before this
operation.
Note: Do not change the size of partition drive C after the backup
