I accidentally triggered a system restore to a really old point on my computer, and I'm feeling pretty anxious about what might happen next. I'm not sure if I messed things up. Can anyone help me figure out if my PC will be okay or if there's anything I can do to fix this?

Don't freak out! Your PC might be just fine. Restoring usually works out alright, but it can be hit or miss. Let it finish and see what happens. If it boots up, that's a good sign!
I get why you're worried! If your computer powers on, you're likely in the clear. Check that Windows.Old folder for your files. If you find that stuff is still missing, you might need to think about a Windows reinstall. But take a deep breath, you’ve got this!
Yeah, it can be nerve-racking, but computers are surprisingly resilient!
From my experience, using restore points is a mixed bag. Sometimes they work wonders, other times they don’t do much. Honestly, I wouldn’t stress too much about it right now!
Thanks for the reassurance! I'm just so worried about losing everything.
