 Not sure if this has been asked before, but is it worth the time to restore a computer to its restore point, if so how far can you go back, just wondering Edward

Windows Restore can be a very helpful tool if you have suddenly developed a problem. It is not a 'cure-all' but has saved many a computer for me.
As far as how far back...you will have to look at the Restore window and determine the restore points it has saved. I have gone back as far as a month or slightly more.

It just depends on what you want from using a restore point?

Have you installed some software you wish to remove do you have problems with the computer.

I Wouldn't do a restore.  I would do is Reformat the hard drive and reinstalling windows and reinstall all the software But do a backup of your personal data frist. What  you'll get is a faster computer and more stable computer system.

Doing a restore is a joke. 
enjoy have fun..  The stuff I said to do is child play's oops I'm A+ certified computer tech but stills child play but without chucky.... lol..

good luck.
