automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver has been installed, you can
disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.

automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver before connecting. Check
the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring
data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows
notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.

Chapter 3. Recovery system
Introduction
Push-button reset is a built-in recovery tool that enables users to restore their operating system
to its original state. This preserves their data and important customizations, without the need to
back up their data in advance.
The following Push-button reset features are available to users from multiple locations within
Windows:
Refreshing the computer
Fixes software problems by reinstalling the factory default configuration. This preserves the
user’s data, important settings, and any Windows Store apps previously purchased from the
Windows Store.
Resetting the computer
Prepares the computer for recycling or transfer of ownership. This reinstalls the factory default
configuration and returns all user data and applications to the state of their original Out-of-Box
Experience (OOBE).
Using Push-button reset
Push-button reset can be launched using one of the following methods:
• Novo button:
-
Shut down the computer and wait at least five seconds. Press the Novo button and then
select System Recovery.
• Settings:
-
Settings Update & security Recovery Advanced startup select Restart now.
For more instructions, see the Windows Help and Support file on your computer.
When I purchased my computer, it included a copy of Windows. How can I determine whether the
copy of Windows is preinstalled by Lenovo?
On the outside of the sales package of your computer, you should find a label containing
configuration information for your computer. Check the printed string next to OS. If it contains
Windows or WIN, the copy of Windows was preinstalled by Lenovo.
What is the Recovery Partition?
If your computer is preinstalled with any version of Windows 10, the storage device of your
computer contains a Recovery Partition. This partition contains the image file of the preinstalled
Windows operating system. In cases of system failure, you can use the Lenovo OneKey Recovery
system or the Windows Reset feature to restore the operating system to its factory status.
Note: The Recovery Partition is not assigned a drive letter and cannot be accessed through Windows File
Explorer.
23
Chapter 3. Recovery system
I uninstalled a preinstalled software, but there is no significant increase in the free drive space.
The copy of Windows running on your computer may be WIMBoot-enabled. For computers
with WIMBoot-enabled Windows, the majority of files needed for preinstalled software are
installed on the Recovery Partition and won’t be deleted through normal uninstallation.
What happens if I attempt to delete or modify the Recovery Partition?
Attention:
•
Do not delete or modify the Recovery Partition on a WIMBoot-enabled computer.
If the Recovery Partition is deleted or modified, you may not be able to restore Windows to the
factory status. For computer models on which WIMBoot is enabled, deleting the Recovery
Partition may cause Windows to fail to start.
How can I determine whether the Windows running on my computer is WIMBoot enabled?
WIMBoot technology is normally enabled on copies of Windows 10 Update running on SSD (or
eMMC) -only computer models. To check your computer,
1
On the charms bar, click the Search charm.
2
Make sure Settings or Everywhere is selected as the search scope and type Disk
Management in the search box.
3
Click the search result and the Disk Management program starts.
If Wim Boot is labeled on the Windows partition, WIMBoot is enabled on your copy of Windows.
