I've just installed Windows 8. I added all drivers needed, changed My Documents location (different partition). I also installed some most necessary applications. All in all, I have a system ready for work, very clean, without any junks. I'd like to be able to restore it in a few months, when it gets cluttered and slow.
Previously I used Clonezilla for that. Now I'm considering using Windows 8 restore points.
- If I create a restore point now (manually) will it ever be deleted by system? (I know it deletes older restore points when it runs out of space, but does it do the same with manually created ones?)
- If my system breaks down badly and won't start will I still be able to use the restore point?
- Since now I'll install a lot of new software, which will write to the registry and create their files God only knows where in the system. Will system restore remove ALL of that?
- Will the system know after restore, that I changed My Documents directory?
