Here is how to do that in Windows 10.
To do so, you better go to the backup options in your setup.
Press the Windows key on your keyboard and key in backup, then press enter.
Backup options
In Windows 10, the backup service is called File History.
you’ve got the option to use it to save backup copies of your system whenever you want.
By default, File History will be turned off.
In this menu, it’s possible for you to, however, switch it on.
Specifically, it has to be the one that does NOT have the Windows installation on it.
If you are happy with that, you dont need to do anything else!
If you want to customise what is backed up, follow the additional steps below.
Further instructions
select More options underneath, and youll see some additional options.
Additional options
The first option here is a button that will let you back up your system immediately.
Consider changing these prefs to something more space-saving.
Tip: We recommend backing up every 3 hours, and to keep backups for a year.
In most cases, that will be plenty!
Below that, you might choose which folders to back up.
By default, most if not all of your high-level folders should appear in this list.
To remove one, press it and select Remove.
That way, all except Mexico will be backed up!
Restoring from backups
Naturally, once youve made these backups, you could also restore them.
That means going back to, or re-creating what was backed up by File History.
just be aware that only folders included in the backup will be available to be restored.
To restore files, you better open a separate option in File History.
Youll be able to restore from complete backups.
Ongoing backups (especially your first one) wont be available yet.
Tip: Your very first backup will take quite some time to create.
