System Recovery System Restore Points System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to reverse undesirable changes to your notebook by restoring the notebook to an earlier state, called a restore point. A restore point is a "snapshot" of your software, drivers, and operating system files at a particular time. The notebook automatically creates restore points at regular intervals and may create additional restore points when you change your personal settings or add software or hardware. You can manually create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually create restore points ■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware. ■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally. Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time. ✎ If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can reverse the restoration.

System Restore Points
System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to
reverse undesirable changes to your notebook by restoring the
notebook to an earlier state, called a
restore point
. A restore point
is a “snapshot” of your software, drivers, and operating system
files at a particular time. The notebook automatically creates
restore points at regular intervals and may create additional
restore points when you change your personal settings or add
software or hardware.
You can manually create additional restore points to provide
increased protection for your system files and settings. It is
recommended that you manually create restore points
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For
example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will
not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time.
If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can
reverse the restoration.
