[*]First off we have to find the System Restore settings. There’s two ways to do this. The first is to simply type in “[b]System Restore[/b]” in the Windows 8 Search bar.

Alternatively open up the control panel and select “[b]System and Security[/b]”

[*]Then select [b]“Advanced System Settings”

[*]Then click on the [b]“System Protection Tab”

[*]You are now in the settings for System Restore.
[*]The first thing you will have to check is to see if your current hard drive has System Protection turned on. By default it should be, but if you want to enable it on another drive simply select it and then press configure.

[/list]
You will now be able to turn on system protection and select how much of your hard drive you’re willing to allocate to system protection. You can also delete previous restore points.
6. To create a new restore point select “[b]Create”.[/b]

7. You will now be asked to enter in a description so you can easily recognize when that restore point was created. The time and date are automatically added to each restore point so you don’t have to worry about that. When you’ve done that select [b]“Create”.[/b]

8. Windows 8 will now automatically start to create the restore point for you.

And when it’s all done you should hopefully get the following Window.
