How to Make Windows 10 Full Backup

How to Make Windows 10 Full Backup:

  • Once clicked on this option, a new Windows prompt will ask you to Choose your location. There are three options for that:
    • On a hard drive (including your external USB drive)
    • On a DVD and,
    • On a network location
  • Note that creating a Windows 10 full backup on DVD or network location can take a lot of time. So, I prefer to do it on external hard drive or on a hard drive other than the C drive.

    • Click on next and it will ask you to choose from all of the drives you want to make a backup for.
    • Choose your option here and then click on Next.
