Using System Restore Points

When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore

point. A system restore point allows you to save and name a

snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can

then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent

changes made to your system.

✎

Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files

saved or e-mails created since the last restore point.

You also can create additional restore points to provide increased

protection for your system files and settings.

When to Create Restore Points

■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.

■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

✎

If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you

can reverse the restoration.

Creating a System Restore Point

1. Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.

The System Restore window opens.

2. Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
