Using Windows system restore points

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 needed.
You also can create restore points at any time.
✎
Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created
since the last restore point.
When to create restore points
■
Before you add or modify software or hardware
■
Periodically, whenever the system is functioning optimally
✎
If you recover to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the
restoration.
