Back Up and Restore Your Files
It’s always good to have a backup. Keep copies of your files on another drive in case
something happens to the originals.
Set up your backup:
Go to Start , then select Settings > Update & security > Backup > Add a drive and
choose an external drive or network location for your backups. All set. Every hour, we’ll
back up everything in your user folder (C:\Users\username). To change which files get
backed up or how often backups happen, go to More options.
Restore your files:
If you’re missing an important file or folder, here’s how to get it back.
1. Search for Restore files from the taskbar and select Restore your files with File History.
2. Look for the file you need and then use the arrows to see all its versions.
3. When you find the version you want, select the Restore button to save it in its original
location. To save it in a different place, right-click (or press and hold) the Restore button,
select Restore to, and then choose a new location.
Make Start Full Screen
To make Start full screen and see everything in one view, go to Start , then Settings >
Personalization > Start, and then turn on Use Start full screen.
