Changing target drive for backup

Hi Ruby. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Type Backup in Start Search, open Backup, under Backup button choose More Options, on next screen scroll down to choose Backup to a different drive.

File History and Windows file and image backup are dysfunctional and may be phased out in a future version. I suggest using a better backup like the experts's choice free Macrium for both file and System image backups to external, then have one other Cloud backup so your files are safe from fire and theft and easily accessible via the internet just like email.

Some suggestions to help ease into this habit:

You can drag 5gb for free into OneDrive app to store in the cloud where they are safe from fire and theft.

If you install Google Drive, you can use their new Backup to choose User folders (Documents, Pictures, etc.) to sync up to 15g for free to their cloud.

Or you can drag or copy them to a USB external or flash drive.

Here's how to drag, copy or move large groups of files: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2086566/the-man...

A better file backup to external disk is free Macrium which is the choice of the experts:

Besides your files you should back up a System Image to use in place of reinstall in 20 minutes. The best free alternative is Macrium: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7363/macrium-ref...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
