One of the best practises to keep your system stable is creating a restore point before playing with system files, or installing a new software. Although most of the programs create a restore point automatically before the installation, the same can’t be said for all the programs out there for Windows.

A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer’s system files. You can use a restore point to restore your computer’s system files to an earlier point in time.

 

To create a manual restore point in Windows 7 you need to follow the steps given below:

1. Right-click on Computer icon and select Properties to open System Properties window. Alternatively, you can also use Windows key + Pause/Break shortcut to launch the System Properties.
