Chapter 1. Getting to know your computer
The first time you plug a USB device into a USB port on your computer,
Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver is
installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device without performing
any additional steps.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a newly connected device after connecting it, and then
installs the driver automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the
driver before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the manufacturer of
the device before connecting.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has
finished transferring data by that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware
and Eject Media icon in the notification area of the Windows desktop screen
to remove the device before disconnecting.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before
connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.

Chapter 3. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system
The Lenovo OneKey Recovery system is software designed to back up and
restore your computer. You can use it to restore the system partition to its
original status in case of a system failure. You can also create user backups
for easy restoration as required.
Notes:
• If your computer is preinstalled with an operating system other than Windows, OneKey
Recovery system is not available.
• To utilize the features of the OneKey Recovery system, your hard disk already includes a
hidden partition by default to store the system image file and the OneKey Recovery
system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons, which explains
why the available disk space is less than the stated capacity.
Notes:
• You can choose a back‐up location on the local hard disk drive or an external storage device.
• Remove the removable hard disk drive before starting the Lenovo OneKey Recovery
system. Otherwise, data from the removable hard disk drive might be lost.
• The back‐up process may take a while.
• The back‐up process is only available when Windows can be started normally.
Restoring
You can choose to restore the system partition to its original status or to a
previously created back‐up point. To restore the system partition:
1 Press the Novo button to start the Lenovo OneKey Recovery system.
2 Enter System Recovery. The computer will restart to the recovery environment.
3 Follow the on‐screen instructions to restore the system partition to its
original status or to a previously created back‐up point.
Notes:
• The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any data you wish to save on
the system partition before starting the recovery process.
• The recovery process may take a while. So be sure to connect the AC power adapter to
your computer during the recovery process.
• The above instructions should be followed when Windows can be started normally.
