It is worth emphasizing right away that the built-in utility for repairing a laptop in new version Windows is slightly different from the previous one on Windows 7, but the mechanism is almost the same.
Before starting the procedure, you should take care of creating a backup copy of important data. There are several sample options here:
- Upload files to cloud storage (Dropbox, Yandex.Disk, Google Drive and etc.);
- Make a copy on external storage (flash drive or hard drive);
- Move files to another partition of the disk (if there is one, or previously split the hard disk).
Remember that recovery will delete all personal information from drive “C”. Of course, the recovery tool has the ability to save files, but this is not a way out.
