I want to run System Restore in order to undo some updates that were done to one of my software programs, e.g. I want to use the old version of the software (which is not available on the web). Is system restore appropriate for this task? If so will it alter my email, word docs etc to their previous states? The latter would defeat the purpose in my view, but I don't fully comprehend how restore works. Thank You |
