Complete noob here when it comes to snapshot, here is what I want.

I want to preserve the original file as it was (take a snapshot) and then change it as I want. Later, if I ever want to get back the original state of file, I can use the snapshot to change it back.

Is this how it works?

If so, is there a software I can use in windows? I just don't want to keep the original file and the modified file, because what I will change is minimal, but would still like to get the old file back if needed (has to be the exact same checksum / metadata it had)

Is it possible? or should I just buy more hard drives?
