Set a System Restore Point Before Making Any Major Changes to Your PC.

Before you make any changes to your PC, I always advise people to set a system restore point so that if something should go wrong or you don’t like the changes you made, you can easily set the computer back to how it was before you changed anything. It’s very simple to do and can save you many hours of frustration and maybe even money, too.

Here’s How:

• Click on the Windows ‘Start’ button – bottom left corner of your screen.

• Select ‘Help and Support’ from the menu list.

• Select ‘Undo changes to your computer with System Restore‘ which you should see in the Tasks section on the right.

• On the next window, select ‘Create a Restore point’ and click Next.

• Give it a name – anything you want, but I always use something like ‘Pre Registry Changes’ or similiar depending on what I am changing. That way if you get distracted and have to come back to it later, you know exactly what you did.

• Click ‘Create’ and it is automatically given a time and date stamp and your restore point is created & ready.

• That’s It.

If you ever need to use one of your restore points, follow the same steps to get to the Help & Support section and use the restore point menu. It’s that simple.
