All Windows 10 restore options
So I'm a little confused here. Apparently I can't increase the number of W10 Restore points to keep. I can only increase how much disc space to use. Also, by default W10 makes a Restore Point every day or 1440 minutes?
I thought upon install W10 creates a Restore partition at the end of your HDD. But I'm confused about what I can specify by turning on System Protection. Some sites show that only allows you to increase disk space for Restore Points.
I believe I don't need to, or can't, create a Restore "disc" (or usb) since I can keep the usb I used for install, boot to that, and get the options to get to 'Repair' where it will first try using Restore Points, namely, the most recent one.
I've found how to enable Volume Shadow Copy in W10 but wonder if that's necessary. It copies OS and data files but I've read enabling it, something that's non-standard in W10, can cause issues.
Finally, I've read conflicting accounts of how well 'Restore" works in W10 and wonder if it's worth trying System Restore for other partitions. I have lots of disk space but if as others have said YMMV I figure I'll skip it.
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
