Image Backup and Recovery Procedures

The following instructions cover separate Backup and Recovery Procedures for Windows®
7 and Backup and Recovery Procedures for Windows 10. Please follow instructions
that are applicable to your system's operating system.
Windows® 7 Procedures
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Recovery Image and
Bootable Disc before beginning to use your system.
It is also important that you create a copy of essential software to external writable
media or an external drive. Follow the instructions in the ""Creating a Backup of the
System-Specific Software Drivers""section to create the copy.
Creating a Backup of Bootable Disc and Recovery
Image for Windows 7
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it.
To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD discs, you will need three or four blank
discs to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep
them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
Note: If your system does not have an internal writable DVD drive, connect your system
to an external drive* before beginning the following steps.
* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA
TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.
