I am trying to restore my laptop to an earlier date but it has now taken 2. 5 hours and still not completed. Would you advise me to shut the system down and restart or what else can I do please?
Thanks. Bimbs

Sorry, but without a complete image backup, which I presume you did not take, otherwise you would know how to do this, there is simply NO WAY to restore your PC to an older date.
What folks call System Restore is more properly named Operating System Restore -- as all it does is reset the OS and the system files back to an earlier date. It does not reset any personal data or settings.
