When
System Restore was introduced in back in Windows Me it has helped save some
major computer snafus on several occasions. The feature is still included in
the new Windows 7 operating system and today we will take a look at how to
create a new restore point.
Create a Restore
Point
It
is recommended that you create a restore point before installing new software or
making any major changes to your computer. Often times when you install new
software you’re given the choice to create a point but if not you can do one
manually as well.
Right-click
on My Computer and go to Properties.
Next
click on the System Protection link.
The
System Properties dialog screen opens up and you will want to click on
Create.
Type
in a description for the restore point which will help you remember the point at
which is was created.
The
time it takes to create the restore point will depend on the amount of data,
computer speed etc.
All
done! Now if something goes wrong you have the satisfaction knowing that you
can go back in time to the point before the changes were made.
