How to Run System Restore on Dell Mini 9

Run Windows System Restore on your Dell Inspiron Mini 9 to roll back the computer's settings to a previous date. The System Restore utility takes snapshots of your computer that you can use to restore it to should you begin experiencing problems with your machine. The tool is especially useful if you are experiencing problems resulting from a failed software installation or after a change in your computer's settings. System Restore does not affect any personal files you have saved to your computer, unlike other restoration processes.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," then click "Control Panel."

2. Click "System and Security," then click the "Action Center" on the next screen. Select "Recovery" at the bottom of the window.

3. Click "Open System Restore," then click "Next" in the System Restore window that appears. A list of the restore points for your computer appears.

4. Click a restore point that was created before you began experiencing problems on your computer. Click the check box for "Show More Restore Points" if you are unsure and select an earlier point. Click "Next."

5. Click "Finish" in the confirmation page to restore your Dell Mini 9 system to its settings as of the date of the restore point you selected. The computer restarts automatically after the restore process is complete.
