I recently upgraded from Win 7 to 10, and when exploring my Control Panel, I found the category "Backup and Restore - Windows 7". I was actually looking for "System Restore" that I had in Win 7 Where could I find/set a restore point? Is it possible to set a restore point in Win 10 if I desire to do a System Restore? If not, would creating a System Image with Macrium be the best alternative?
Thanks
OK, I found the info I was looking for in the Tutorials section. Am I correct in that if I select "Backup and Restore - Windows 7" that this function will take me back to Win 7?
System Restore still exists. Hit the Win key and type Restore and hit Enter.

To backup, +1, a previous poster's answer: if I understand Windows correctly, no System Restore Point can be used to revert Windows 10 back to Windows 7.
When you upgrade to a new build, all system restore points are deleted by design, because they are irrelevant in the new environment.
After upgrading to a new Win 10 build, you are allowed 10 days to revert to the previous build- Windows.old is created when you upgrade and used for the reversion. It is deleted automatically after the 10 day period.
This is how you go back to a previous build:

Note that Backup and Restore is being deprecated by MS, and 3rd party tools are recommended by them (and for a long time us) such as Macrium Reflect (free) - far more robust and feature rich.
