You can reset your HP computer to an earlier date using System Restore, which allows you to revert your system settings to a previous restore point. Here’s how:
Method 1: Using System Restore (When Windows Starts Normally)
Open System Restore
- Type "Create a restore point" in the Windows search bar and select it.
- Click System Restore under the System Protection tab.
Select a Restore Point
- Click Next, then choose a restore point from the list.
- If available, check "Show more restore points" to see older options.
Confirm & Restore
- Click Next, then Finish to start the restoration process.
- Your computer will restart and revert to the selected restore point.
Method 2: Using Advanced Startup (If Windows Won’t Boot)
Restart into Recovery Mode
- Turn off your computer and turn it back on while pressing F11 repeatedly.
- Select Advanced Options > System Restore.
Follow the Restore Process
- Choose a restore point and follow the on-screen instructions.
