How Much Space for System Restore Windows 10?

I checked the available space on my SSD and saw only 400G. And I want to do a system restore. How much space is needed for the system restore on windows 10? Is there a suggested upper limit for that, or must it consume how much of my SSD?

This primarily relies on how frequently you use your computer, what you do on it, and how much free disk space you have. For instance, you should have additional restore points available in case of issues if you frequently install and remove the software. Of course, you can manually create a restore point at any moment.

Approximately 1GB of disc space is needed for each restore point. The range for recommended storage allocation was 2–10% of the total storage space. Something like 2% should be OK, around 20GB. The more you set up, the more restore points you keep in case something happens.

A system restore saves a copy of your hard drive in its current condition, so you can later restore your computer if necessary. Usually, you have to create these restore points manually. However, it can have an automatic mode. If it's a setting, try locating it and turning it off. I recommend going to the system restore settings and deleting them if you don't intend to use these.

There are better ways to protect your computer than creating a system restore point because system restore sometimes will not work properly on your PC. Therefore, you need to find some other ways. Using professional backup software, like EaseUS Todo Backup, is the best way to do so.

Generally speaking, the more restore point you want to create, the more space you need. Something like 2% should be OK, around 20GB.
