To restore an OEM PC (HP) to when it was 'new' use the HP provided restore
disk or contact HP for directions to do so.
- Restoring a pc to 'as received' condition will require reinstallation of
all programs (user installed and in some case HP installed if not present on
the restoration media).

You will also lose *all* user data.

This is an extreme solution not to be chosen lightly.

I would like to restore my system to when it was newer and faster.
Will system restore remove programs I have downloaded like Thumbs and
Lightroom?
Thank you for any help.
