ERD Commander is a convenient program that gives you the ability to restore Windows 7 operating system in case of crashes and errors. What is more, you can check disks and memory for possible damages, make changes to the registry, manage hard drive partitions and reset the administrator password. If your OS does not boot, you have the option to launch a portable system that does not require installation.

Initial configuration

The software solution is distributed as an ISO image. This means you need to create a bootable USB flash drive. You can do so using different utilities, such as FlashBoot, WinUSB or Rufus. After changing the boot priorities in the BIOS settings, the system will launch from disk. The next step is to select the type and bit depth of the OS installed on the computer.

Recovery points

When it comes to restoring the system, you are able to use rollback points that were created previously. These snapshots are produced automatically, but only if the corresponding feature is enabled. Thanks to this, Windows generates the required files every time a major change is made to the system, installed updates, drivers and more.
