How to operate the backup system on Windows 11?
You can back up your system on Windows 11 by following these steps:
- Open the “Settings” application. You can quickly find it by typing “Settings” in the search bar in the start menu.
- Click on the “System” option on the left side in the “Settings” window.
- Select “Storage” under the “System” option.
- Locate and click on “Backup” in the right-hand pane.
- On the “Backup” page, click on “Add Drive” to choose the location for storing the backup. You can choose an external hard drive, network drive, or cloud storage service as the backup storage location.
- Once you have selected a backup storage location, return to the “Backup” page and click the “Back up now” button to start backing up the system.
Backups may take some time depending on the size of your system and the speed and capacity of the backup storage location. During the backup process, make sure your computer remains powered on and connected to the backup storage device.
Please note that the system backup feature in Windows 11 can backup the operating system, personal files, and settings, but it will not backup installed applications. Therefore, after restoring the backup, you may need to reinstall some applications.
Additionally, a backup system serves as a preventive measure to avoid system failures or data loss. It is recommended to create system backups regularly to ensure you always have a reliable backup to restore the system.
