File History is not being removed in v1709 / Fall Creators Update
Thank you. There is a rumor that Microsoft wants to force use of the Cloud/One Drive to continue with File History. This will not work for home users with multiple terabytes of data. File History is the main reason I upgraded from Windows 7. Microsoft should kill the Fake News about File History not supporting local backup drives. It has bothered those of us who read it. MS should also make it easier to swap out a backup drive going to offsite storage and update the prior offsite drive to current backup status. It's easy once you get used to it, but it is not for novices.
Microsoft might think about making their Windows Home file server/peer-to-peer networking more robust. On my machine the major Windows 10 (home) builds have interfered with the way I do networking. 1511 was the worst of all the builds for killing networked systems. I hope Microsoft will realize that a number of its users will never use the Cloud because of cost, security and system performance.
