System restore
In Windows XP and higher, restoration points are created (system check
points) before significant system-changing alterations, enabling you to bring
the system back to the old state. This may become necessary when new
installations of programs, drivers, etc make the PC instable, or cause it to
malfunction.
You may also set restore points manually. System restore may only be used
when at least 200 MB free disk space is available. If this is not the case,
Windows deactivates the function automatically.
During system restoration, personal data such as emails and bookmarks are
not lost, but a backup can never hurt in case something goes wrong during
restoration. You may also always undo system restore.
