Windows 8.1 system recovery without data loss
Restoring the Windows 8.1 system without data loss can be useful if your operating system has become unstable or you are experiencing problems with computer performance.
Before starting the recovery, it is recommended to create a backup copy of all important files and folders on another drive (for example, on an external hard drive) to prevent possible data loss.
Follow these steps to complete the process:
Step 1: Open the “Control Panel” through the “Start” menu.
Step 2: In the "System maintenance" section, select the "Backup and restore" option.
Step 3: Click the "Recovery Image" button located to the left of the program window.
Step 4: Having selected the desired language package, click on the link "Start hardware and information technology" under the headings "Use the next point". Then follow the instructions of the wizard to complete the process.
This should launch the Find PC Saved State wizard. If you have saved points, you can select one of them and perform the recovery process.
If there are no recovery points available or they do not solve the problems of your system, you can try other methods:
1. The built-in “Computer Update” function: It will help you overwrite the operating system without deleting personal files.
2. Refresh utility: This is a deeper update of Windows 8.1, which also saves all user data.
3. BIOS flashing (only if certain expertise is available): If there are serious technical problems with the stability of the computer after numerous errors in the software or hardware drivers.
In any case, before starting the procedures, you should create a full backup of the data!
