Using the above tutorial I have created a restore point on my Win 8.1 64-bit Laptop. Where is the created restore point stored on my PC?

I guess I would need to know this if I needed to perform a system restore?

No.

Just go here---



Or type in ---

rstrui.exe

into a command prompt & press Enter.



You can also type it into a New Task in Task Manager---

Glad you got it sorted out.

Restore points are stored in the "System Volume Information" folder in the root of each protected drive. This folder is inaccessible to even an elevated admin account and for that reason Windows Explorer is unable to show it's contents. Do not attempt to defeat this. Improper modification of this folder could have serious consequences for your OS.

I tried a while back.
It was hard to get access.
I didn't change anything.
Just had a look around.

There wasn't much there.
I have System Restore shut off.

I use Macrium Reflect.
