system partition to the original factory default settings.

Note: Create base backup can only be used once. After the user has

performed the operation of base backup, this operation cannot be used

again. It is recommended to perform this operation after installing the

Windows operating system and the drivers and software shipped together

with the computer. Otherwise, the backup space is insufﬁcient.
