Restoring Your Operating System
System Restore
The Microsoft Windows operating systems
provide a System Restore option which allows
you to return 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.
Starting System Restore
1. Click Start .
2. In the search box, type System Restore
and press <Enter>.
NOTE: The User Account Control window
may appear. If you are an administrator on
the computer, click Continue; otherwise,
contact your administrator to continue the
desired action.
3. Click Next and follow the instructions on
the screen.
In the event that System Restore did not
resolve the issue, you may undo the last
system restore.
