I have a couple of options to have it fixed. I'm just crossing my fingers one of them works. Always make sure to have restore points saved, a flash drive or cd with restore on it, and make sure to have a anti-virus program teens!

As someone going into IT, I disagree. When you use a "restore point" on Windows, all it does is make a shadow copy of the OS and a couple of crucial documents. The frustrating part is when said shadow copy doesn't work. In addition to that, the shadow copy also gets saved to the same hard drive it's of, so if the hard drive craps out, bye bye shadow copy. Said shadow copy can't be moved to other hard drives, or even defragmented, to enhance performance. The only reason I don't disable the restore point creation is because I ensure functionality on Windows when I update to a new build. I'm on Insider builds, so that's of vital importance there.

Instead of a flash drive and some discs, get a cheap 1tb external hard drive. They're USB 3 and very fast. You could also spring for RAID arrays inside your computer. Look into RAID 1 and RAID 5 arrays if you're going to do that.

In regards to anti-virus, Windows Defender is good enough. Why pay for software that's built in, and functional? Not only is it redundant, you run the risk of replacing something that works well enough with something that might not work as well. What's a better idea is just being careful and smart using a computer.

Finally, Windows isn't your only option when using a computer. I use Linux Mint on some PCs if I don't need apps, games, or certain file compatibility. While people say "oh Linux is for smart people" and that isn't completely true. My tech-illiterate father can use Linux Mint quite easily. It takes a minimal amount of setup to get working, and there's a huge community behind it. Finally, you don't pay for the OS unlike when you buy a pre-built system or a Windows install. It's free, and the current edition Linux Mint 18 Sarah is supported until 2021.
