140 If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits Saving system configuration with restore points The System Restore feature of the Windows® operating system quickly creates restore points - 'snapshots' of your Windows® operating system configuration - and saves them for later recall. If you experience problems after installing some new hardware or software, you can easily select a previously established Control Point to 'turn back the clock,' restoring the Windows® operating system to the state it was in just prior to the installation. This is much easier and more 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.
