Turn on Windows backup
To turn on Windows backup and choose your backup settings, select Start > Settings > Accounts > Windows backup.
Open Windows backup settings
The following items can be backed up:
OneDrive folder syncing
Turn on OneDrive folder syncing to start backing up your files and folders right from Settings.
Remember my apps
Windows will remember the apps you have installed and help you restore them from Microsoft Store on your new devices.
Remember my preferences
You can back up preferences including accessibility, passwords, language, and other Windows settings. If you turn on Other Windows settings, Windows also syncs some device settings (for things like printers and mouse options), File Explorer settings, and notification preferences.
Note: The Remember my preferences settings are available for a work or school account if it’s allowed by your organization. For more info about how Azure Active Directory and Enterprise State Roaming work to synchronize user and app settings to the cloud, see Enterprise State Roaming overview.
