    My laptop has no date that I can possibly restore to. It will not let me scroll back to previous dates. What can I do?

    @ kristen
    This probably means that all the System Restore points on your system have been removed. These take up a lot of space, and are periodically removed by Windows once they hit an upper space limit.

    Anyway, this is a totally outdated post and is applicable only to Windows XP. You should search for and read some other article that’s more thorough.

    Here are some articles you should read –
