If you want to protect your important files and settings on Windows 10, it's always a good idea to create a backup. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open the Control Panel and click System and Security.
  2. Click Backup and Restore (Windows 7).
  3. Click Set up backup.
  4. Choose where you want to save the backup. You can use an external hard drive, a USB drive, or a network location. Then click Next.
  5. Choose what you want to backup. You can backup your files, your settings, or both. Then click Next.
  6. Review your backup settings, and then click Save settings and run backup.

Once the backup is complete, you can rest easy knowing that your files and settings are safe. If you ever need to restore them, simply go to the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) window, click Restore my files, and follow the on-screen instructions.
