How To Activate Windows 10?
System Restore Point can be a powerful solution to solve various problems in Windows without having to reinstall.
A System Restore point can restore Windows to a healthy state by rolling back to a backed-up version, so any errors you are experiencing will be gone.
All versions of Windows starting with Windows 7, 8, and 10 have this feature, but it is disabled by default. In order to use it, we have to activate it first.
In this post, Winpreso will show you the steps on how to activate and create a System Restore Point in Windows.
Note!
Before creating a System Restore Point you must make sure the computer is healthy and there are no errors. Creating a Restore Point must be done when the computer is in the best condition because later we will roll back to this condition when an error occurs which is difficult to resolve.
How to Create a System Restore Point in Windows 10 and 8
1. Open Control Panel > System > System Protection
The first step is to enter the Control Panel, then find and click the menu named System. After that on the left panel click on the menu System Protection.
We will enter the System Properties window, on the System Protection tab, look at the Protection Settings section.
There you will see a list of drives on the computer along with a description of whether the Protection (System Restore Point) is active or not.
When it is active, the caption is On, if it is not active then the caption is Off.
3. Activate the System Restore Point
If the information is Off then we need to activate it first.
The trick is to click on the C drive> click the Configure button under the drive list.
A new window will open, to activate the System Restore Point, click/check the Turn on system protection option.
Then on the Disk Space Usage menu, specify how much drive capacity you want to use. There is no set standard for how much, just use it sparingly.
4. Create a new restore point
Next, we will create a new restore point.
Still, in the same window, click on the Create button> name it Restore Point> then click the Create button.
Wait for the process to complete.
5. Check the restore points that have been created
After successfully creating a Restore Point, we can check it via the System Restore button in the System Properties> System Protection window.
There you will see a list of Restore Points that have been created, this is what we will later use to roll back Windows if an error occurs.
