Create a System Restore Point in Windows 7

It's not obvious how to manually create a system restore point in Windows 7, but it's pretty easy to do.

• Click on [Start] button.
• Right-click on "Computer."
• At the pop-up menu, click on "Properties."
• In the top left, click on "System protection."
• At the pop-up menu, you will be at the "System Protection" tab.
• Look for the section to "Create a restore point right now for the drives that have system protection turned on."
• Click on [Create...]
• Type in a description to help your identify why the Restore Point was created.
• Wait while it says "Creating a restore point...."

When it's done, a confirmation alert will say, "The restore point was created successfully."
