I did a system restore but it‘s taking way too long (hours).if I pull the battery out will I lose all my word documents? (I‘m not really concerned about anything other than that).
There must be a Boot get right of entry to for the restoration, it may desire to be in yet another menu (Boot get right of entry to occasion: Press F11 For restoration) (yet another Menu occasion: Press ESC To view submit exhibit) in basic terms hit despite key it states then discover and click the production facility Reset selection. desire it helps :)
System Restore has nothing to do with your documents - it restores a backup of the system registry. If it takes longer than 15 minutes, you have a MAJOR problem. If you're doing a reinstallation of Windows (Windows Restore), and you turn the computer off (with the switch or by removing the battery), you'll have a nice door stop. You'll have a partially installed Windows that might work or it might not. (If it doesn't, you'll need a repair shop to get the laptop working again, and you'll lose ALL your files.) If this is the case, just plug it in and wait until it's finished - even if it takes until tomorrow. You have no other choice.
