Getting Started 3–3

Protect Your System Files

System Restore is a Windows operating system feature that

enables you to undo harmful changes to your notebook software

by restoring your software to an earlier time, called a restore

point, when your software was functioning optimally.

Restore points are restorable, benchmark “snapshots” of your

application, driver, and operating system files. The notebook sets

restore points at regular intervals and might set additional restore

points whenever you change your personal settings or add

software or hardware.

Manually setting additional restore points provides additional

protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended

that you manually set restore points

■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.

■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For

example, restoring your system software to an earlier time will

not affect documents or emails that you saved after that time. All

System Restore procedures are reversible.

1. Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.
