Restoring Your Operating System

System Restore

The Microsoft

®

Windows

®

operating systems

provide a System Restore option which allows

you to restore your computer to an earlier

operating state (without affecting data files) if

changes to the hardware, software, or other

system settings have left the computer in an

undesirable operating state. Any changes that

System Restore makes to your computer are

completely reversible.

CAUTION: Make regular backups of your
data files. System Restore does not monitor
your data files or recover them.

desired action.

Click
