Select "System Restore" from the "I need help right away" section in the left pane. Click on "Back up files (recommended)" and select "Next".

Select files to back up and click Next. Connect an external drive to the laptop or insert a blank disc into the optical drive.

Select the drive letter associated with the optical or USB drive, then click Next.

When the backup process is complete, click Next. Recovery Manager will restore the HP computer to its original state. Click Finish.
