To repeat my wife turned off my HP with an AMD this evening before I could disable auto update and she got the BSOD and botting issues but after a few reboots the PC is now working . Wondering of it’ll be ok ? Should I restore to previous date or leave it alone ?

If I were in this position, I would leave it as-is. Why go back to a known-compromised situation? Your experience was different from mine, because Windows 7 doesn’t have the automatic repair facility that’s in Windows 10. If everything is now working normally, don’t press your luck by trying a restore...

I would do an image copy, which is the single most handy thing to have in case of catastrophic failure. This option even takes care of hard drive failures, if they happen.

It can be accomplished simply and reliably with free tools. You can even put it on a thumb drive depending upon the capacity of your hard drive and how much data you have stored.
