1/6/2023 0 Comments Where are restore points savedI can't think of a more tedious way to spend my time these days than doing a clean install on my own PC. When/if I put a boot SSD into my system, I'll do a clean install of Windows, then after the day or so of applications installs and configuration, perhaps I'll create a system image then. ![]() Keeping separate backups of your personal files is strongly advised though, because the system image feature is basically one step away from a wipe and clean install. Then browse for the target folder to save everything to. The 'create system image' feature allows one to reset the system back to some pre-determined 'ideal' state (onto the same hardware as before, unless you know what you're talking about). If you want to restore several files from the restore point but not the whole backup itself. Otherwise you run the risk of SR doing a little too much, for example, doing a partial restore of your security software's files and causing it to seriously burp. I would advise only using System Restore if you can't fix the problem yourself (perhaps obvious-sounding, but it's a blunt 'fix all' tool which kind of does and doesn't), and restore back as few days as possible. ![]() System Restore IMO is a newbie feature to get them out of trouble. I'm wondering whether the OP should look into the Windows Backup 'Create system image' feature rather than system restore.
