How To Create & Use System Restore In Windows

System Restore is a Windows feature that helps you undo changes made to a computer's operating system files. The restore process attempts to return the computer to a saved configuration from an earlier point in time (called a Restore Point).

It is recommended you create a restore point before uninstalling a program, updating computer drivers. So in case anything went wrong with your system, you will be able to restore it back to the way it was before the problem occurred
