Windows 10: How can I restore to an earlier restore point in Windows 10? Nothing I've tried gives...

Everything leads to a dead end! *When I go to control panel I do not see an option for Windows 10, only Windows 7. When I tried to click it anyway it said Windows Backup had not been set, and trying to set a backup - it just said it couldn't be done.*When I just type in Restore, it offers me a Restore app to open, which when clicked wants to create and backup drive and wants a flashdrive inserted., that will be wiped after the process. I don't have an empty flashdrive sitting around. And I really shouldn't need one to do what I want to do. So I'm not sure if this would lead where I want anyway

restore computer to an earlier point using windows 10

Hi MimiWoodward I'm Cristhian,an independent advisor willing to help

thank you for posting your query. I understand you are attempting restore computer to an earlier point using windows 10

This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app or driver, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will
remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, and then choose it from the list of results

2. In the Control Panel search box, type recovery.

3.Select Recovery > Open System Restore.

4.In the Restore system files and setting box, select Next.

5.Select the restore point that you want to use in the list of results, and then select

Scan for affected programs.
