How to quickly create a Restore Point in Windows 10 [Tip]

Restore points are Windows safety nets for when people need to rely on backups that they have not otherwise taken. If you hear lots more people talking about a backup being a requirement on mobile operating systems such as Android in comparison to Windows operating systems on computers, that is because Android does not offer the restore point feature unless you are a root user.

By default Windows is set to manage these restore points for you since you are the administrator of the OS, and it is then up to you to apply the restoration point for when you need it. However, first, we are going to run through how to enable manually and disable the restore point just in case your computer has not got it turned on at the moment.
