Before you install more programs and drivers on your newly installed **Windows 7/10** PC, make sure you have System Protection enabled. System protection is a feature that regularly creates and saves information about your computer’s system files and registry. System protection also saves previous versions of files that you’ve modified. It saves these files in restore points, which are created just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver. By default, System protection is automatically on for the drive that Windows is installed on. System protection can only be turned on for drives that are formatted using the NTFS file system, and **Windows 10** also does enable Restore point by default, so you should do it manually! To check if you have the protection turned on go to the Control Panel, click **System** then choose **System Protection**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/7/0/70acbaca062096c75da11076a2dedc1356ec3167.png) The **System Properties** dialog will appear. Click the **System Protection** tab. Look for the drive marked with **System** – this is the drive where Windows 7 is installed. The protection for this drive is on by default – if not, click it to turn it on. You may turn on the system protection of other non-system disks if you like. If you do this, you can restore previous versions of files inside those drives. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/1/61edb58fe123029b213f3826d968bc77c7cda59c.jpeg) Click the **Configure** button to see the restore settings and maximum space used by the restore points. If you have a large amount of space on your computer, it’s a good idea to choose the **Restore system settings and previous versions of files** option and to set the **Max Usage** percentage so that it’s greater than 5 GB in size. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/b/a/bad65151a0ac2b2fe5bac7d2f5e992af9f3e6ae2.jpeg) If you want to see the restore points created by your system, click the **System** **Restore** button. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/7/c74d2049da38e8e48599bf00ff5f4ffb1d429229.jpeg) The list of restore points will appear. You may go to this list in the future if you need to restore from one of the available restore points. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/2/d/2d7eef950279a98ee2d2457d49950eb56f47af21.png) System Restore is a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as email, documents, or photos. System Restore is the best choice if you installed a program or driver that caused an unexpected change to your computer and uninstalling the program or driver didn’t fix the problem. thanks **Happy learning!** ---
