For either method, you'll need an external hard drive or SSD. One of those methods creates copies of the files you care about most, allowing you to revert to an older copy of a file if, for example, you accidentally delete something or make a mistake.īelow I'll walk you through how to set up routine backups of your most important files, as well as how to create a complete copy of your system in its current state. Windows provides two different ways to back up your PC. I'd have my files, sure, but I'd spend a lot of time installing apps and getting everything back to how it was. If my PC were to stop working right now, I'd still have to set it up from scratch. There are settings, applications along with other odds and ends that aren't backed up. However, those files aren't everything I have on a PC.
Most of my files are backed up to some form of cloud storage, be it OneDrive or iCloud Drive. It's far too easy to ignore the Windows prompts reminding you to create a backup of your PC. Make sure your files are backed up at all times.
