Final answer:

Windows 10 includes a File History utility for automatically backing up local data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Windows 10, like Windows 8 and 8.1, comes with a File History utility for automatically backing up local data. The File History feature allows you to regularly back up your files to an external storage device so that you can easily restore them if needed.

To set up File History on a Windows 10 PC, connect your backup device, then open to Settings > Update & Security > Backup and click Add a drive under the Back up using File History header. Select the location you wish to use for your backups. File History is now enabled, though it's not yet backing up any files.

To get more control of the setup and configuration of the whole backup thing, the better place to open the File History window is by going to Control Panel > File History. The top part of the window displays the last time that File History was run, as well as the location of the backup files.
