Which instructions? If you mean the Microsoft ones as built into

Strewth JP! There's a button marked 'create a restore point right
now' and you just have to hit it. What could be simpler?

If, for some reason, Restore Points have been disabled on all qualifying
drives/partitions, that button is greyed (or at least doesn't do
anything). How to re-enable it - which is part of making restore points
- isn't obvious to the newcomer.
