If you are willing to learn more about one of the most useful functions of Windows such as system restoration, this article is exactly what you need.
Creating a restore point
One nifty feature is if you turn on the System restoration, it automatically creates a number of system restore point in time for you. This saves you the hassle of doing it manually. You can always make it manually as you want by going to the Properties by right-clicking This PC, look for system protection from the task list.
In this box, you will see two sections. The top one has the system Restore Section, the bottom one has Protection Settings.
To create a restore point manually, simply click the create button under the system protection settings.
Here you will have another box popped up, where you have to type in the name of this restore point. You can name it as you prefer and in the way it will make sense to you later.
Under this System Protection tab, if you go to the top section of System Restore, you can click the System Restore button. Here you will find the list of automatically saved system restore point for you. Fun fact is, if you know that every time you make some great changes in your system, including installation of a programme, Windows creates a system restore point for you, you will save yourself from such a fine rainy day of a total system crush with a complete loss of data.
How to restore your Windows 10 system?
One things you should keep in mind that, for Windows 10, System Restore point is disabled by default. One nuisance you may find is that, you won’t find all of your saved restore points from this System protection tab here. In such a case, you will have to use Windows 10 Reset this PC feature.
Keep in mind that during the whole system restoration process only your settings and programmes will be changed, so there won’t be any data loss and your system will restore all the data and settings you had the time of that restore point. Remember, in case of any disastrous events simply revert back to the last system restore point. This will save you tons of time!
System restore is enabled by default by every version of Windows other than 10, and uses your mass storage device to save such data about your restore point. You have the ability to control further of this restore point behaviour by hitting the configure button under protection settings in the same tab.
