system restore not showing on laptop

Hello, I have a Lenovo Flip 14 laptop running W8.1. It is relatively new and I am still setting it up.
Yesterday I installed an update to a programme (Incredimail) and as I did not like the updated version I tried to do a system restore but it would not restore.
I have tried various restore points and eventually looked to make sure it was enabled. I cannot find it in computer management under services.
Is it possible it could be deleted from the registry in error by me?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, Jan

 

Hello, I have just gone to use my notebook which runs W7 and decided to check services there to see what to look for, and system restore is not on that machine either?
The mystery deepens?

to find windows restore you need to go to control panel on desktop and then click on recovery and you should see it in there.

 

Hello and thanks to JoeRay12 and sexyandy81.
Yes, you are both right in as much as it shows up there, but when I run it each time it does not run.
A Microsoft Tech told me to check it was enabled in computer management under services, but it was not there. For the tech to give me more advice I had to pay for a service agreement.
I am assuming that if it doesn't show up in services, it is not actually running?
I am totally stuck on this so appreciate any help I can get.
