Creating System Restore Point
This playbook describes the process of creating a system restore point on a computer. System restore points preserve the current state of the system files, which can be used to revert the system back to this state if any problems arise.
Step 1: Access System Properties
Open the Control Panel, search for 'System' and select 'System'. Click on 'System protection' on the left panel.
Step 2: System Protection
Under the 'System Properties' window, click on the 'System Protection' tab and ensure that protection is turned on for your main system drive (usually C:).
Step 3: Create Restore Point
Click on the 'Create' button to initiate the creation of a system restore point. Give the restore point a descriptive name and click 'Create'.
Step 4: Confirmation
Wait for the system to create the restore point. This might take a few minutes. Once done, you'll see a confirmation message indicating that the restore point was created successfully.
General Notes
Drive Space
Make sure that there is enough free space on your system drive to create a restore point, as the process requires some amount of space to save the system state.
Admin Rights
You must have administrative rights on the computer to create a system restore point.
Regular Schedule
To ensure your system's integrity, consider scheduling regular system restore points or enable system protection settings to automatically create them.
