    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to File History,

    Right-click the Windows icon and click on Settings.
    windows setting

    Click Update & Security > Backup. If the option is enabled underneath Back up using File History, you will see the drive letter you use for File History backup. If nothing is listed, this means the option is not enabled, and to enable it, you will need to click the Add a drive option.

    You’ll now get a list of external drives. Select the one you want to use for backup (File History). Enable by option by moving the slider to the right. This will allow the File History feature to keep back up of field on it. To select which folder it monitors, click More options.

    From here, you can add or remove folders to monitor File History. Also, by clicking Add folder, you can add a folder.

    This will enable the File History option. Once this is done, you can restore the previous version of the files you worked on after enabling the feature.
