System Restore Windows 10: How easy it is

When your PC breaks down again, the last resort is System Restore. With it you reset your computer to an older state. In the process, you'll get rid of any problems that have cropped up since the last restore point.

What to do to start System Restore?

In Windows 10, just like in previous versions, there is also the option to reset your system to an earlier point. However, this will also lose all the data that you have saved since then. If you don't want to lose them, you should save the most important data externally beforehand. Cloud services are also suitable for this if you have a fast Internet connection. Afterwards, you can easily start System Restore via the Control Panel.
