    system restore


    How do I set a manual system restore point?
    All I could locate was how to restore the system to a previous point.
    I want to set a restore point just before installing a printer.

    Type the word create in start search box.

    Click where it says create a restore point.

    Hope it helps.

    You are very prudent, you would be surprised to know how many do not take such precautions. You may want to make a system image, put is on an external hard drive and update it once a month, for nearly total protection in case of disaster.

    Good luck to you.

    Yes, it's possible.
    I haven't done it myself yet. But I am going to do it soon.
    So, there you go:
    Creating a Media-less Recovery / Installation Partition

    Hope it will work.
