Restoring Your Operating System

System Restore

The Windows operating systems provide

a System Restore option which allows

you to restore your computer to an earlier

operating state (without affecting data files)

if changes to the hardware, software, or other

system settings have left the computer in an

undesirable operating state. Any changes that

System Restore makes to your computer are

completely reversible.

CAUTION: Make regular backups of your
data files. System Restore does not monitor
your data files or recover them.
NOTE:
The procedures in this document are

applicable for the Windows default view,

so they may not apply if you set your Dell

computer to the Windows Classic view.
