Creating a recovery image allows you to restore your computer to its original condition when needed. In the event of a major hardware or software issue, a personal recovery image will save time and effort when restoring your computer.
HP strongly recommends that you create a recovery image on discs or a USB flash drive as soon as you receive your computer.
