I heard that using the Command Prompt to create a restore point in Windows 10 is very simple. Can anyone give me detailed steps so that I can give it a try?

Here is how you can create a restore point in Windows 10 using Command Prompt:

  • To open the Run dialog, press the Windows key + R.
  • To open Command Prompt in admin/elevated mode, type cmd in the Run dialog box and then press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER.
  • Type or copy and paste the command below into the command prompt window and hit Enter:

         wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call CreateRestorePoint "<RestorePointName>", 100, 7

  • Replace the <RestorePointName> placeholder with any name you like.

Though it is convenient to use a built-in tool like System Restore to back up all your data, it is relatively slow, and you need to check if its backup is stored occasionally. That is why we recommend you use a professional backup and restore tool like EaseUS Todo Backup. The EaseUS Todo Backup is the best to restore all your lost data. It's the most efficient working tool so far. 

EaseUS Todo Backup for Win is designed mainly for Windows users, who praise Todo Backup for being simple and effective. EaseUS Todo Backup promises a long but accurate list of capabilities, such as disk imaging, bootable backup, and encryption. It can perform several types of backup, like full and incremental backup, and it also has free cloud storage in the latest software version.
