Reinstalling all your original software

If you want to restore all your system software and application programs
to the state they were in when you first purchased your computer, follow
these instructions.

Note: If you have installed newer versions of programs that came with your
computer, you may need to reinstall the newer versions after you use the
Restore All Software program. All documents and programs that didn’t come
with your computer (all the files that you have added to your hard disk, such
as letters and reports) remain on your hard disk when you reinstall your other
software using the Restore All Software program. Programs that you added to
your computer after you bought it do not need to be reinstalled.
