    Hello,

    Got a Ideapad 300S 14" and see a bunch of crapware on the laptop.

    Was wondering if I:
    - Use Novo button to start Lenovo OneKey Recovery system and use System Backup to create a backup of System partition to an image file.
    - wipe HDD and fresh install Windows

    and if I want to revert back to factory configuration, then can I
    - Create a D: partition of same size as the initial configuration
    - Restore image that I made earlier of System Partition
    - Now use Novo button to start Lenovo OneKey Recovery system and use System Recovery to restore to factory settings.

    Any comments?

    Thanks,
