    File History automatically backs up your personal files and allows you to restore previous versions.

    Steps:

    1. Connect an external drive or network location where you want to save backups.
    2. Open Settings (Windows key + I).
    3. Navigate to Update & Security > Backup.
    4. Under Back up using File History, click Add a drive and select your external or network drive.
    5. Turn on Automatically back up my files.
    6. To customize what gets backed up, click More options.
