After uninstalling and reinstalling windows we didn’t create a restore point.
If there’s only 1 restore point listed but we want to go back to 23rd is this possible or not? I’m thinking not but apparently the settings for the streaming my teens do took hours and they’re all lost.
Any hope?

How did you re install windows? Did you do a re install from USB over the current partition or did you delete this and then do a new partition with a clean install of Windows?

you will not be able to go back to any restore points before the OS was re installed as all this was under the previous installation and not the new 1.

If you formatted/actually uninstalled Windows it's unlikely you can do anything. If you reinstalled over the top, it may have the old installation still on youre c drive and you can simply roll back the reinstall.

Also, the streaming settings don't take hours ;)

Yes unfortunately we did completely uninstall.

Any tips for OBS streaming settings to save me hours of following some random YT tutorial?

We went into the settings typed in reset this PC and went through the options, not sure if this helps with knowing about uninstalling etc? No usb was used

When clicking in reset this PC did you select the option to keep your files etc or did you completely reset everything back to factory and not keep any of the files etc
