Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) On the Windows search bar, type&nbsp;<strong>restore point<\/strong>&nbsp;and click&nbsp;<strong>Create a restore point<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-180462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-1.jpg 864w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-1-600x548.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-1-150x137.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2) You may see the system protection is, by default, turned off. Click&nbsp;<strong>Configure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"412\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-180463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-2.jpg 412w, https:\/\/images.drivereasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/create-a-restore-point-2-132x150.jpg 132w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Drag the slider next to Max Usage to determine how much of your disk space to be used for system protection. Usually&nbsp;<strong>5% \u2013 10%<\/strong>&nbsp;is enough.
