If you have deleted the restoration data in the protected area of the hard disk, or have arbitrarily installed another operating system, the restore function may not work.

Click the [] icon in Desktop to run LG Recovery Center.

  1. PC Recovery: Recovers the PC without losing any personal files.

    Caution:

    PC settings are reset to default and any user-installed software will be deleted.

  2. PC Initialization: Removes all items from the system and restores the system to its initial pre-purchase state.

    Caution:

    All data is lost during the initialization, so you must backup all critical data in advance.

    It may take about 5 hours or longer depending on the system conditions.

  3. Creating Recovery Drive: You can create a recovery drive in Windows as a precaution against a system failure that prevents you from entering the operating system, or any other severe system issues.

    1. When the following screen appears, select [Copy the PC's recovery partition to the recovery drive.] and click [Next].

    2. When the following screen appears, select the USB flash drive and click [Next].

      Caution:

      This process deletes all the data on the storage device designated as a recovery drive. Make sure to back up its data in advance.

    3. Once the storage device is ready, click [Finish] to create a recovery drive.

      Caution:

      Select [Remove the Recovery Partition] while creating a recovery drive to remove the recovery partition in the PC.

      Once the recovery partition is removed, you cannot use the recovery function of the PC. You can only recover the system using the recovery media.
