(Although this post isn&#8217;t about Mac products, things go awry even in the Apple world.)  In this post, I&#8217;m going to address some preventative measures you can take if you use a Windows computer.  With <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/31\/windows-11-is-coming-october-5th\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Windows 11 coming out next week<\/a><\/strong>, there are three things I want you to do as soon as you upgrade or purchase a computer with the new OS (Operating System).  The good news is that these same procedures also work for Windows 10!  If you haven&#8217;t taken the steps I&#8217;m going to outline, you should!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-goal\">What&#8217;s The Goal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Fact: we can&#8217;t really control if and when things are going to malfunction on our computers.  However, what we can do is take preventative steps to recover our computers to a working state.  Unfortunately, many people don&#8217;t know about the three procedures I&#8217;m going to explain.  Or, if they do know about them, they don&#8217;t understand how to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-configure-system-restore\">Configure System Restore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The first thing you should do is configure System Restore.  If you&#8217;re not familiar, System Restore is the function that allows you to go back to a previous configuration for your computer.  It doesn&#8217;t affect your data but it will reset the system.  As an example, let&#8217;s say you install a new program and things go wacky.  Even after you remove the program, your computer isn&#8217;t working correctly.  If System Restore is configured and working correctly, you would be able to restore your computer to an earlier time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-system-restore-point\">Create A System Restore Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Once you are sure System Restore is configured correctly, you need to create a System Restore Point.  (Yes, Windows will automatically create Restore Points from time to time but you should know how to create one manually.)  Once you know how to do that, you should create a Restore Point before making any major changes to your computer.  If you&#8217;re going to install some program that you&#8217;re just not sure of, creating a Restore Point beforehand is the perfect thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-recovery-drive\">Create A Recovery Drive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Although this is a very important procedure, I can barely think of a customer who has done this.  You&#8217;ll need a 16GB flash drive to create the Drive.  (You can order one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ZPCi27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/strong> if you don&#8217;t have one already.)  By creating this Recovery Drive, you give yourself a very important way to bring your computer back from the dead.  Without the Drive, restoring your computer could be a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-do-these-three-things\">How Do You Do These Three Things?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">I thought you&#8217;d never ask!  The entire process of configuring System Restore, creating a System Restore Point and creating a Recovery Drive can be found in the first section of my recent video called, &#8220;Restore Windows 11.&#8221;  (Remember, these same procedures work in Windows 10.)  You should view the video now by clicking or tapping on the image below.  While you&#8217;re at it, you might want to watch the entire video since it demonstrates the ways you would use the three recovery tools shown in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JF9WKlOn_8k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/win11_recovery.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you use Windows 11 or 10?
