How to backup files in Windows 8?

Asked By Marvin M Calderon 55 points N/A Posted on - 11/10/2013

Hi experts,

I am trying to downgrade my laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to know how I can make a backup of all my files and then restore them when I am done with downgrading. I also want to know if there will be an issue or will it be hard considering its a different version of Operating system. Also, I need a backup method where I can select which files to restore since I only need some files to restore. Please give me some idea about it.

Thanks in advance.

How to backup files in Windows 8?

We all usually store the data in hard disks.Unfortunately if we delete those data,no need to bother.We have software called Recuva.By performing a "Deep Scan" through Recuva software we can get back the deleted files.Not only the files which are in system but also we can recover the photos which are deleted from Digital camera's,MP players and SD cards etc.

How to backup files in Windows 8?

Hello,

Backing up your files in Windows 8 is easier than ever. Windows 8 has a built in feature named "File History". You will just need an external hard drive to use this feature. Please follow the steps below:-

1. Plug in your external hard drive or storage device.

2. After plugging a notification would probably come notifying what you want to do with your hard drive. Click on it and choose the file history option.

3. Simply choose the files you want to back up.

4. Now simply click on the turn on tab and you are good to go.

I hope this helps in you every possible way.
