How to revert the computer to its original state before the migration

If you would like to revert the computer to its original state, before the migration, this can be done using Windows System Restore standard procedure.

This option is useful if you would like to perform the migration “from scratch”, or if you have encountered a problem with the new computer you cannot fix in any other way.

Windows System Restore is a built-in Windows service which allows you to revert all changes made to applications, system, drivers etc. You can select the date to which you want to revert. System Restore does not change or revert documents and non-application files. To revert the computer to its original state, before the migration, revert to a System Restore snapshot taken just before the migration. It is recommended to use the snapshot taken automatically before the migration is started – it has the word “WinWin” in its description.

For detailed instructions on how to use System Restore, please see the following guides:
