A system restore is a feature of the Windows operating system that allows you to revert your computer’s state to a previous point in time. When you do a system restore, Windows 7 and Windows Vista choose the most recent system restore date and time. But sometimes, you may want a less recent restore point. For example, when a system upgrade and a software addition are botched, you need to restore your computer to a point from several days earlier.
