How to create a System Restore Point in Windows 7?

System Restore cannot run without a Restore Point. So, make sure to have one. For us, System Administrators, it is our SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) to always make a Restore Point after we Install Windows 7 Operating Systems or Reformat a Computer.

The first thing you should do, is to turn on the Hard Drive’s System Protection.

Right click “My Computer” ———>>> Click “Properties” ———>>> Select “Advance System Settings” ———>>> Go to “ System Protection Tab” ———>>> From there, click the Hard drive or the Partition that you want to have the System Restore turned on ———->>> Then, click “Configure” ———->>> Tick the “Restore system settings and previous versions of files” ———>>> Finally, strike “Apply or OK”.

Now, you are rest assured that the System Protection will automatically make a Restore Point as per scheduled. However, do not rely on that, do a manual creation of System Restore.

Right click “My Computer” ———>>> Click “Properties” ———>>> Go to “ System Protection Tab” ———>>> Then, click “Create” ———>>> Type your desired Restore Point name and hit “Create” ——–>>> Wait for the confirmation ——–>>> You should see a message “The Restore Point was created successfully” and you are done. You just made a Restore Point for future System Restore.
