Creating a Restore Point
A restore point enables you to restore your computer system files to a previous state, depending on when the
restore point was created.
Typically, restore points are created automatically, for example when you install a driver. However, we
recommend that you create a new restore point manually before installing any apps or drivers on your VAIO
computer.
Refer to
Windows Help and Support (
Opening Windows Help and Support

restore point.
