How to Backup Computer to Flash Drive Windows 10?
As we all know, data is important. No matter what type of business you have or what type of computer you use, backing up your data is always a good idea. When it comes to Windows 10, there are a couple of different ways that you can back up your computer to a flash drive.
In this blog post, we’re going to show you how to back up your computer to a flash drive in Windows 10. The first thing you need to do is connect your flash drive to your computer. Once it’s connected, open up File Explorer and click on This PC in the left-hand sidebar.
Find your flash drive in the list of drives and double-click on it to open it up. Next, you need to decide where you want to store the backup on your flash drive. For this example, we’re just going to create a new folder called “Backup”.
Right-click inside the window and choose New > Folder from the menu that pops up. Type in a name for the folder and hit Enter/Return on your keyboard when you’re done. Now that we have our destination set up, it’s time to start backing up our data!
In File Explorer, click on the View tab at the top and make sure Hidden items are checked off in the Show/hide section. This will allow us to see all of the hidden files and folders on our computer so that we can include them in our backup. If you want to back up everything on your hard drive (which is usually recommended), select all of the items by pressing Ctrl+A on your keyboard or by clicking Edit > Select all from the top menu bar.
If there are certain files or folders that you don’t want to be included in the backup, hold down Ctrl while clicking each item individually so that they become selected/highlighted as well. Once everything is selected that you want to be backed up, right-click anywhere inside the selection and choose Copy from the menu that appears. Head over to our Backup folder inside our flash drive window and right-click again inside it.
This time choose Paste from the menu. All of our selected files will now begin copying over to our flash drive! Depending on how many files you have and how fast your flash drives are, this process could take a few minutes up to an hour more. Once it’s finished, you can disconnect your flash drive from the computer knowing that all of your data is safely backed up and ready to use if needed.
