Removing PC Restore
NOTICE:
PC Restore enables you to restore your computer’s operating system to the condition it was in
when you purchased your computer. It is recommended that you do not remove PC Restore from your
computer, even to gain additional hard drive space. If you remove PC Restore from the hard drive, you
cannot ever recall it, and you will never be able to use PC Restore to return your computer’s operating
system to its original state.
