1. Step Click on Start
2. Step Enter systempropertiesadvanced.exe into the search field and hit enter
3. Step At the top switch to the tab System Protection, select the partition that you want to disable system restore on and click on Configure:

4. Step Select the option Turn off system protection and finally click on Apply
