    Backup is missing for me in Settings and File History is missing for me in Control Panel.

    Surface Pro X on May 2020 update.

    Hi Wayne

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor . . .

    Windows 10 has 2 backup Options:

    1

    Open the Settings App, then go to Update and Security - Backup

    The File History option should be there, is that missing on your PC?

    2

    Open the old Control Panel (click your start Button, then just type control and press Enter)

    Set View to icons at the top right of Control Panel

    You should then see 'Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

    Though that is still labelled Windows 7, that works perfectly well in Windows 10
