You may met the situation which you can not handle the computer problem unless make use of System Restore to set things right. Though it is said that System Restore does not affect your personal information such as email, documents, photos, videos, etc, but there is highly possible that some of your personal files are deleted while system restoring. And there maybe some important data for you. Then you need to do data recovery after system restore.
