When I go to System Restore It says Windows 7 instead of Windows 10?

 

Also....How can I do a system restore when none exists?

 

And what is Windows backup? Do I need this and is this System Restore?

Adding my 2 cents...

I have noticed that many who do not understand the Windows backup process will create just one backup on the computer that is being backed up. The purpose of backing up is just in case the computer is broke. If the only backup you have is on that broken computer you will not be able to access them and they would be useless so it is best to back up on an external storage device.

Is your Windows 10 computer an upgrade from Windows 7?

Please provide an image.

You might find this article interesting.  Basically, Windows 8 and Windows 10 use the backup utility that was developed for Windows 7 and that was never enhanced since Windows 7, except for compatibility, so that is why it is named "Windows 7" even though you are running Windows 10.
 
Personally, I would not use it.  There are much better free and paid alternatives, like Easeus Todo Backup Home, Macrium Reflect, and others.  There are rumors that the Windows 7 backup utility may be abandoned in a future Windows 10 feature release.
 
I hope this helps clarify the issue.  Have a great weekend.

If all backup is doing is so that you dont lose data then I dont want it. I already do that manually on a hard drive.

 

Why doesnt my system restore have a restore point?
