    							Synchronizing a tablet and keyboard (select models only)
    For a tablet with a detachable keyboard, when you attach the tablet to the keyboard and restart the
    computer, Setup Utility (BIOS) checks to see if the Embedded Controller firmware on the keyboard
    needs to be synchronized. If so, synchronization begins. If the synchronization is interrupted, a
    notification screen displays for 10 seconds before the tablet restarts and attempts to synchronize
    again.
    NOTE:The Embedded Controller firmware will synchronize ONLY if the tablet or keyboard battery is
    more than 50% charged, or if your tablet is connected to AC power.

    (UEFI)
    HP PC Hardware Diagnostics is a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that allows you to run
    diagnostic tests to determine whether the computer hardware is functioning properly. The tool runs
    outside the operating system so that it can isolate hardware failures from issues that are caused by
    the operating system or other software components.
    NOTE:To start Setup Utility, your computer must be in notebook mode and you must use the
    keyboard attached to your tablet. The on-screen keyboard, which displays in tablet mode, cannot
    access Setup Utility.
    To start HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI):
    1.Start Setup Utility:
    ●Computers or tablets with keyboards:
    ▲Turn on or restart the computer, quickly press esc.
    ●Tablets without keyboards:
    ▲Turn on or restart the tablet, and then quickly hold down the volume down button.
    2.Press or tap f2.
    The BIOS searches three places for the diagnostic tools, in the following order:
    a.Connected USB drive
    NOTE:To download the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool to a USB drive, see
    Downloading HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) to a USB device on page 44.
    b.Hard drive
    c.Setup Utility (BIOS)
    3.When the diagnostic tool opens, use the keyboard arrow keys to select the type of diagnostic
    test you want to run, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
    NOTE:If you need to stop a diagnostic test, press or tap esc.

    							12 Backing up, restoring, and recovering
    This chapter provides information about the following processes. The information in the chapter is
    standard procedure for most models.
    ●Creating recovery media and backups
    ●Restoring and recovering your system
    For additional information, refer to Help and Support.
    ▲From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
    IMPORTANT:If you will be using F11 startup recovery or USB media recovery to recover your
    system, the tablet battery must be at least 70% charged before you start the recovery process.
    Creating recovery media and backups
    The following methods of creating recovery media and backups are available on select models only.
    Choose the available method according to your computer model.
    ●Use HP Recovery Manager to create HP Recovery media after you successfully set up the
    computer. This step creates a backup of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup
    can be used to reinstall the original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted
    or has been replaced. For information on creating recovery media, see 
    Creating HP Recovery
    media (select models only) on page 45. For information on the recovery options that are
    available using the recovery media, see 
    Recovering using HP Recovery Manager on page 47.
    ●Use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information. 
    For more information, see 
    Using Windows tools on page 46.
    NOTE:If storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft System Restore is disabled by default.
    Creating HP Recovery media (select models only)
    IMPORTANT:If your computer does not list a Create recovery media option, you can obtain
    recovery media for your system from HP. See the 
    Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included
    with the computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to
    http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    HP Recovery Manager is a software program that allows you to create recovery media (using either a
    flash drive or a set of DVDs) after you successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be
    used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the
    original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory and then
    configures the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to customize the
    system or restore the factory image if you replace the hard drive.
    ●Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep
    them in a safe place.
    ●HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for
    the media that will be required.
    Creating recovery media and backups 45 
    						
    							●To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability,
    and you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do
    not use rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE
    (rewritable Blu-ray) discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or,
    instead, you can use a high-quality blank USB flash drive. 
    ●If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you
    would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased
    separately) to create recovery discs. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected
    directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an
    external device, such as a USB hub. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain
    recovery discs for your computer from HP. See the 
    Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet
    included with the computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to
    http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    ●Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery
    media.
    ●The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.
    ●If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery
    DVDs. HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP
    Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue.
    To create HP Recovery media:
    IMPORTANT:For tablets with a detachable keyboard, connect the tablet to the keyboard base
    before beginning these steps.
