Here are some things you can consider to restore your laptop to a previous date:

1. Back up Data: Back up all of your important data onto external media such as a hard drive or flash drive.
2. Restore Points: G-enerate a system restore point in the Control Panel so you can easily recover if something goes wrong.
3. System Image: Create a system image of your computer, which will allow you to easily restore your laptop to an earlier state.
4. Recovery Disk: Create a recovery disk if you're using Windows 8 or 8.1 and have an installation disc that came with your laptop.
5. Manually Reinstall: Manually reinstall Windows if you don’t have a recovery disc or system image.
