If you are lucky enough to be using the Windows 8 Release-to-Manufacturer version, you may notice a problem. It is hard to find Windows Backup. One reason for this is that it is currently called "Windows 7 File Recovery" in Control Panel. Be advised that this is most likely a bug or mishap, but one that should not go unrecognized and should be patched very soon. Obviously, the backup option was not designed for Microsoft Windows 7. This is one of the more blatant typographical errors we have seen, and expect it to be repaired forthwith in a patch before full OEM and Retail availability.
