    All Windows 10 restore options


    So I'm a little confused here. Apparently I can't increase the number of W10 Restore points to keep. I can only increase how much disc space to use. Also, by default W10 makes a Restore Point every day or 1440 minutes?

    I thought upon install W10 creates a Restore partition at the end of your HDD. But I'm confused about what I can specify by turning on System Protection. Some sites show that only allows you to increase disk space for Restore Points.

    I believe I don't need to, or can't, create a Restore "disc" (or usb) since I can keep the usb I used for install, boot to that, and get the options to get to 'Repair' where it will first try using Restore Points, namely, the most recent one.

    I've found how to enable Volume Shadow Copy in W10 but wonder if that's necessary. It copies OS and data files but I've read enabling it, something that's non-standard in W10, can cause issues.

    Finally, I've read conflicting accounts of how well 'Restore" works in W10 and wonder if it's worth trying System Restore for other partitions. I have lots of disk space but if as others have said YMMV I figure I'll skip it.


    Thanks in advance for any feedback,



    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    5. Boot up with your new HD.
