Windows 7 has many great features, but System Restore is one of the few genuine lifesavers.

It's a tool that you'll hopefully never have to use, but as with all system maintenance, it's always worth making sure that you're ready in the event of having to call on it

Sometimes installing a program or driver can make Windows run slowly or unpredictably. System Restore can return your PC's system files and programs to a time when everything was working fine, potentially preventing hours of troubleshooting headaches. It won't affect your documents, pictures, or other data.

In Windows 7, you can create more system restore points and see exactly what files will be removed or added when your PC is restored. For more information, see  create a restore point

For more protection, use System Restore with backup and restore , which is designed to help safeguard email, pictures, documents, and other personal files.
