It restores everything back to what it was. It restores changed
files. I have never had it not work.
It replaces user files with old copies?
In my experience, Windows 8 is significantly more flaky than
Windows 7, so you may have issues with System Restore in 8.
That is just windows BS myth by people who hate metro. I multi boot
my windows 7 ultimate with Windows 8.1 and once I had 8 set up I
never boot into 7 anymore. Windows 8 is much more secure and stable
then 7. It has been well documented that 8 works better and faster
on older hardware then 7. Yes, everybody went crazy over metro but
outside of that
it is a much better OS then Win7. Once you use third party software
to deal with the start menu, and desktop environment metro ain't
that bad. I don't mind the metro environment
I hate to call you on this Winterlight, but this just isn't
true. The "8 works better on older hardware" is just wrong. I work
on a lot of different machines - 25-40 a week, and I see a lot of 8
machines. I haven't seen one that outperformed a similar Windows 7
machine, and the odd problems and issues with 8 are significantly
greater than 7.
