Try this how-to.
Seems not logical to require MS account for local backup.

Thank you doriel,
When I first went to create a restore point I eventually came to the screen your link showed. I then enabled system restore on my c: drive. The strange thing is that I was not able to create a restore point until today.
Anyway I was able to create a restore point. I probably need to do a clean install.
