How to Turn on File History in Windows 10

backup using file history backup your

files to another Drive and restore them

if they're originals or lost damaged or

deleted left we're going add a drive ok

so we can see that it's currently set to

automatically backup our files so if you

want to set exactly what files that we

want to be backed up to our flash drive

you want to left click on more options

here right underneath and then we see we

have a little bit information we see

that our current size of our backup

currently occupies 0 bytes on our flash

disk we this back up now button will

sync all of our backed up folders or

files immediately to our flash drive

however if we actually want to check out

and see what's going to be backed up we

can just scroll down here we can see how

frequently our files will be backed up

which is set to be every hour you can

change it anywhere between 10 minutes

and daily and you can also set how long

you want your backups to be saved for so

you can either set it to be until space

is needed and then it'll be over in or

you can set it for forever

and then underneath back up these

folders this is what is important if you

want to specifically said what you want

windows to back up to your flash desk

for most people I would say they want to

back up their documents so that's

already selected now if there's certain

folders you do not once selected all you

would do is just click on the folder so

let's say we didn't want to save our

downloads we could just left-click on

that and then immediately left click on

the Remove button next to that so we see

that it removed that folder we can also

add additional folders by clicking on

this little plus sign right next to add

a folder at this point we can navigate

to any one folder on our computer so

let's just say music and I've just added

the music folder to our backup folders

so again click on backup now if you want

to immediately schedule a backup so

pretty much you might be wondering how

do you access or retrieve previously

backed up files and that'd be very

simple so let's say for example I

created a new word document on our

desktop here and you know we'll just

keep it saying a new Microsoft Word

document that is the name of our

document here you would just right click

on the document and then left click on

properties underneath previous versions

on the top tab here if we did run it

back up there would be different options

down here show you any recovered or

backed up versions of that file so it's

very simple this is very good on a

file-by-file basis and if you actually

wanted to go back through and do a mass

or store that's also very doable you

would go back into the Start menu go

underneath settings back underneath

update and security and then if you go

back to the backup selection on the left

here and then you go underneath more

options

and if you scroll all the way down this

list you see that there is an option

underneath related settings on how to

restore files from a current backup if

you left click on that you can follow

the on-screen instructions on how to use

file history to revert back to previous

versions so I hope this brief tutorial

helped you guys out and I will catch you

in the next video goodbye
