Using System Restore Points
System Restore is a Windows operating system feature that
allows you to reverse undesirable changes to your computer by
restoring the computer to an earlier state, called a
restore point
. A
restore point is a “snapshot” of your software, drivers, and
operating system files at a particular time. The computer
automatically creates restore points at regular intervals and may
create additional restore points when you change your personal
settings or add software or hardware.
You can manually create additional restore points to provide
increased protection for your system files and settings. It is
recommended that you manually create restore points
■
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For
example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will
not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time.
✎
If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can
reverse the restoration.
