How To Create a Restore Point for Windows 7 or Vista’s System Restore

 
System restore is a damn good application from Microsoft. Provided free with the operating system, its your first line of defence. If you installing a new unproven/unknown application and aren’t quite sure what it’s going to do to your computer, I would absolutely recommend creating a restore point before you install that application. Here is how to do it.

Most of big application automatically create a restore point before installation, but we can do this manually if required.

1. Open up the Start Menu and right-click on “Computer”, and then select “Properties”.

2. It will open Control Panel. Click on the “System Protection” link on the left hand side.
