That rather depends on what you might have done to disable system restore.
All that should be required is System Properties | Performance | File
System | Troubleshooting, UNcheck Disable System Restore and immediately
reboot.

Having rebooted you might then want to perform a quick test as follows:
a) Create a shortcut on your desktop to a file.
b) Create a manual checkpoint
Could you create a checkpoint?
c) Delete the shortcut
d) Restore your PC to the checkpoint you created.
Was the shortcut restored? Did you see any error messages?
e) Reboot your PC
Was the checkpoint retained?
