If Something Goes Wrong
Develop good computing habits
effective than uninstalling the hardware or software, which
often leaves behind unwanted files and settings. It is also
easy to undo a restore point selection, if you change your
mind.
Follow these steps to create a restore point using the
System Restore utility:
1 From the Start screen, type
Control. Click or touch
Control Panel from the list that appears.
2 Click or touch
System and Security, and then
System.
3 In the left pane, click or touch
System Protection.
The System Protection tab of the System Properties
window appears.
4 Click or touch
Configure.
5 Under
Restore settings select Turn on System
Protection.
6 Click or touch
OK.
7 Click or touch
Create.
8 In the input field, enter a name that is descriptive enough
to be easily understood in the future, such as “Before
installing Brand X Accounting app.” Then click or touch
Create.
The Windows operating system creates the restore
point, automatically stamps it with the current date and
time, and displays a message that the restore point was
successfully created.
9 Click or touch
Close.
Then, at a later time, you can re-establish your Windows
configuration using the saved restore point. To do this:
1 From the Start screen, type
Control. Click or touch
Control Panel from the list that appears.
2 Click or touch
System and Security, and then
System.
3 In the left pane, click or touch
System Protection.
The System Protection tab of the System Properties
window appears.
