use the oldest date to get you closest to original settings
 
Hi ROYMAN,

System Restore is not a backup tool. The snapshots (System Restore points)
live upto 90 days by default, and they get erased in FIFO basis. There are
also several other reasons such as third-party software installation,
Service startup failures that can affect the System Restore functionality.
Therefore your best option for this purpose is to use a third-party imaged
based backup solution, so that you can restore your system to defaults in
few minutes. These are the two reputed image based backup programs:
