System restore

I have system 7 that has been upgraded from Vista. Is there any way to restore
Back to the time system 7 was installed without loosing system 7.
Some of the repair disc I have seen will take you to the original op system

If you dont' have a System Restore point which goes back far enough, then what you'd need is a backup image stored externally which you can use to reimage to C.

What I would do is follow the steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 then after its set up and running best Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup so that if Win7 becomes irreparable you can boot the Win7 DVD or Repair CD to do a System Image Recovery

This is way above my pay grade, I had system 7 upgraded over Vista and think
if I do a factory clean it will go back to Vista. I had the 7 installed by a computer
repair shop and guess I will go back to him and have it reinstalled.
Thanks for you help. only wish I was more savvy.

OK thank you for the lecture on your mission, I guess I don't fit your standard of an average consumer
I am a senior citizens on a fixed income and last year I upgraded to system 7, I don't have a system 7
to reinstall, and I don't have the programs that clean and back up that you recommend that is why
my question was (is there a way to restore back to when system 7 was installed?) I was hoping that
someone had found a way to recover deleted system restore points. I know how to reinstall 7.
I don't want to start a argument so please do not reply to this unless you can tell me how to go to
a restore point that has been deleted
