I recently had to use the recovery USB to recover my laptop.
I did a complete clean sweep of my hard drive, before doing it using the system I backed up my files.
My question is when I now run the resore button to reload my files and it asks me where to save them should I select C. or create a new folder.
I noticed when the back up was being done it was copying progamme files. I selected the auto selection when doing the back up not user selection.
Will it over write my C drive if I do
Thank you for any help
Brian
