Restore Function
Not only can you use Samsung Recovery Solution when Windows is running, but 
also when you are unable to boot up into Windows. Let’s learn how to use Samsung 
Recovery Solution.
Optional functions such as Initial State Image, Initial Status Backup, and Partitioning are 
only available in some models.
Partition Setup & Initial Status 
Backup
If you turn your computer on for the rst 
time, the Initial Status Backup function 
is performed after registering Windows. 
This function saves an image of the Initial 
Status of the C drive to a secure location 
so that users can restore the computer 
to the Initial Status using the Complete 
Restore function. An Initial Status Backup 
is only performed once immediately after 
the computer is purchased.

The Partition Setup function is only
