. This generally applies to systems running Windows 7 and older operating systems. Windows 8 works in a similar way but provides different kinds of recovery options.

Doing a system recovery becomes necessary when you can't use your computer due to problems, hardware upgrades or just cause you want to sell it.

Nowadays most computers use the "repair your computer" selection from the F8 boot menu in Windows when you first start your computer. Before then, there was usually some kind of key on the keyboard you had to press to access the system recovery at boot. Before that, computers were usually supplied with physical recovery CD/DVDs as HDD recovery hadn't been implemented yet (or the drive couldn't hold the recovery image ex. a small SSD).

NOTE: A SYSTEM RECOVERY WILL ERASE ALL USER DATA. BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING. _
