In order for the process to go as painlessly as possible and not to lose personal user data, you need to take care to create points in the operating system that will guarantee and ensure automatic recovery.

It is very convenient that any operating system is able to create such points without much involvement of the user. And it does this in the background, so that the owner of the PC is not even aware of what is happening. The most frequent situations when this happens are before significant changes in the operating system, which the user makes. We are talking about such cases:

    • !-6-!! installation of Windows operating system updates;

Updating software components, drivers and various utilities;

!-6-!! Installation of third-party programs and applications.

Also a new point will be formed if the previous one was made more than 7 days ago. If necessary, the user can manually create a”place of no return” so that the OS can be restored through the control panel tools.
Important! In order to extend the functionality of the system, including working independently to create restore points, the user must have administrator rights.

  5. In the corresponding form, enter the name of the point, and then click”Create”. It is not necessary to specify the time and date, these parameters will be added by the system automatically.
