Windows 7 System Recovery: A Guide

If you have problems with the Windows 7 system, you can not avoid doing a system restore. We explain how this works here.

Perform system restore on Windows 7

1. Click the start button at the bottom left.
2. Enter "system recovery" in the search line below and select the appropriate search result.
3. In the window that opens, you can either leave the selection set to the last restore point or select a different restore point.
4. If you go via the "Select another restore point" option, you will be shown all the times and events at which you can restore the system (see image). Select a point and click "Next".
5. You can then theoretically choose between different partitions on the hard disk. Usually, however, only one partition is shown here, which is why no further configuration is necessary.
6. When you click "Finish", Windows starts working. System Restore is prepared for about a minute and then automatically restarts the computer. Overall, the whole process can take up to ten minutes, depending on the computer.
