System Restore is a helpful utility in Windows 8/8.1 helping us to roll back to a previous state to troubleshoot some problems in Windows. A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. If at any time you feel the need to undo some changes or if your Windows is not working properly, you can restore your system back to a prior "good" restore point.

In this article, we will take a look at the procedure to create System Restore point in windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In fact, if System Restore is enabled in Windows, it will automatically create snapshots called restore points every day and before a significant event such as installing a program or adding hardware drivers to your computer.

Note: A system restore contains a backup of your Windows Registry, system configuration, program files, and system drivers and executables.
