Copy files from another computer
You can access music, pictures, videos, and documents on computers that are part of your network. This way you
can copy files from one computer to Surface. For more info, see Get to files on other computers in this guide.
Back up your files using File History
File History backs up your personal files in the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders on your
Surface. Over time, File History builds a complete history of your files.
To start backing up and creating a history of your files, you'll first need to set up a File History drive and turn File
History on. We recommend backing up your files to an external drive or network.
To set up a drive or network location for your backup, see Set up a drive for File History on Windows.com.
