Missing files; no Restore Points; can't set Restore Points; et al.

FYI: I just discovered in Virtual PC a setup folder and file for my music-composer program, copied it to my W8 laptop, installed the program, and it worked — even before I located and moved a file it said it couldn't find when the program started! So now it looks like maybe the only things keeping me from upgrading this PC to Windows 10 are [1] getting my flatbed scanner to work on the 32-bit system (since the driver installation didn't seem to work on W7) and [2] wondering whether I can get a working W10 over a slightly broken W7?
Anyhow, the previous question about Protection in a .dll file is no longer necessary! :)

Did you give up on me? :)

What?! -- Work is more important than this? Ha-ha?
Found it in Task Manager. It wasn't running; was that a problem? Or does it just run when needed. Anyhow, I started it. And then checked properties for volume; see attached. Is that the info you needed? It also lists in Task Manager: PID 10092. And, when I just now started "Checking for updates..." again, I took a look at the Volume Shadow Copy in Task Manager Services, and it was showing again as stopped, so I started it again.
There are still 11 important Windows updates and two product updates. I selected the 11, but it won't let me install them directly; it wants me to install W10, instead. I think I need to reboot to see if they'll install that way.
Thanks.

Its default is Manual so it would only fire up as and when - don't know what effect changing it to Started and Auto would have though.
