I have a new Acer Windows 11 1TB Laptop...but I'm sure that I'm giving too much space to system restore.

It's currently set at 10% which is 95GB, but I can't find an answer to what would be best. There are so many conflicting answers, but none of them seem informed :-/

Can anyone advice what to set System Restore to be?

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    A space of approx. 10Gb will be enough for System Restore, because that will be enough for a few restore points and Windows updates automatically deletes restore points when a large Windows update is installed, so that space will eb sufficient.
