    For all of the options in 10 I have been turning on or off, is there a way to reset all of these back to their default setting? Not that I want to do that now but just curious, if I ever needed to.

    Not that I know of.

    In fact if you are using your Microsoft account, and have syncing turned on(Settings> Accounts> sync your settings), if you do a clean install or use Settings> Update and Security> Recovery> Reset this PC, Windows 10 will pretty much set the PC up the way you had it before(not everything, but most settings) which I personally really find useful myself.

    But here is a recommendation from me regarding syncing, turn it off for theme:

    And turn off syncing in Edge(for some reason bookmark/favorites corruptions occur, and Edge is just not as good as Chrome or Firefox at browser syncing)

    Hi again,

    What would be the main difference between restoring from a System Restore point and restoring from a system image created in Macrium/Aomei ?

    There should be no difference between these two backuppers .
    My trust in Macrium is better then in Aomei , besides ; Macrium has the Redeploy-function ( Aomei has not )............

    Hi,

    Cheers for the reply but I think you may have misread the question.

    A system restore point is actually only a registry backup, so if the problem is you installed a software or unistalled one it only sets the registry back to when the restore point was made.

    A system image makes a copy of the disk and puts everything back to exactly how it was when the image was created, including any thing you were working on at the time.
    This is why I put my Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos user folders on another disk, so I don't lose and added stuff or changes I made.

    Documents Folder - Move Location in Windows 10 | Tutorials

    Same technique for all folders you want to move.
    I highly recommend NOT moving the desktop folder though.
