📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses recommended sizes for Windows 10 restore points, suggesting 1-5GB for larger disks, as restore points are stored as volume shadow copies. The original poster seeks information on how much space to allocate for multiple restore points and where they are stored, questioning if the restore point interface from Windows 7 is compatible with Windows 10. The response confirms typical sizing, explains that restore points are stored as volume shadow copies, and mentions that shadow copies can be viewed using the vssadmin tool, indicating some compatibility with older tools.

Whats the recommended size for Restore Points for an Win10 system partition when I want to store e.g. 8 restore points?

Where can I defined where (in which partition) these restore points should be stored? Or are they always on the same partition as the original?

Are old Win7 Restore Point tools work on Win10 too (=is the restore Point interface API the same)?

For large disks 1-5GB. Restore points are stored as volume shadow copies. You can see them with vssadmin list shadows vss has been used since Windows XP so the tools may still work
