Windows 10: Not letting me create a system restore point. Says its disabled by my system admin. windows 11

So, a while back I accidently deleted my audio drivers, so I went to HP Support Assistant app and tried to get them back, but when trying to update/reinstall the drivers it said I needed a system restore point. So I looked up how to get there and it said it is disabled by my system admin even though my account is marked as an admin. So what I did is found one on the web and installed it. Its been working fine but its still janky and I wish I just had the actual ones. There's also a lot of other things wrong with my windows, I don't know if my windows 11 is installed correctly or what. All I

System Restore Point Questions

Thanks, Dave!

Suppose I go back to an earlier version of C: with the desired restore point, restore from it and create a restore point on D:, then reload the current C:. Will I be able to restore from that restore point on D:?

Step by step:

1. Enable Restore for D:
   
2. Back up the C: drive with Acronis.
   
3. Restore C: to an earlier date with the desired restore point, from the Acronis backup image.
   
4. Restore the system from the desired restore point.
   
5. See if Restore is still enabled for D:. If not, enable it there, with the same capacity as in step 1.
   
6. Disable Restore for C:.
   
7. Create a restore point. Since there's no availability on C:, it should be created on D:, and be identical to the desired restore point.
   
8. Now put C: back to the current version using the backup created in step 2.
   

Will the system now recognize that restore point on D: and let me restore from it?

(Edited to add the explanation, and step 4.)
