I see. ThanksRestore Points are stored on the very drive that may have just died.
You need to create the Image or Restore point before the BadThing happens.So, if the drive is still functioning correctly but I just want to fix an unknown issue, does that mean that I should first try to restore from a restore point, and only if it doesn't work, use the better system image option?

I've also had a good experience with restore points throughout the years.That's a reasonable idea.
I've used System Restore over 100 times since it was introduced.
It has never hurt. Perhaps 1 time in 10 it fails to run to completion or doesn't resolve the problem.
Most of my attempts were on Windows 7, not 10. I haven't used it on 10 more than a dozen times since 10 was introduced. I guess that is because I am getting into fewer jams where it might be necessary....Windows 10 and Window 10 Update may be a bit more reliable than 7 was.
Yeah I already have restore points created, it's the very first thing I do on new systems. But I'm finally wrapping my head around images. ThanksYou need to create the Image or Restore point before the BadThing happens.
Preferably, on an ongoing schedule.
Every day or every week, for instance.
Me personally, I ignore Restore Points completely.
