@Eshu_leftie_22,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

I would like to inform you that if you do a system restore it will not delete any of your files. System restore will restore the settings of your computer to a previous date.

 

However, if you are doing a system recovery then it will delete everything on the computer and put the computer back to factory settings.

 

Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!

 

If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution. Your feedback counts!

 

Cheers!
