Explanation

System Restore rolls back system files, the Windows Registry, and installed programs to a saved restore point - without touching the user's personal data files. It is targeted and reversible, making it the least destructive option. System Image Recovery overwrites the entire drive with a previously captured image, destroying any changes made since the image was taken. CHKDSK is a disk error-checking utility, not a restoration tool. Windows Memory Diagnostic tests RAM and does not affect software or files at all. System Restore is the correct, minimal-impact choice for undoing recent software/driver installations.
