To begin with, it’s always a good idea to keep your system backed up, and Windows 10 makes it really easy to do so using the built-in “System Image” utility. Go to the Start button (windows logo), then select Settings, Update & security, Backup, add a drive and choose an external drive or network location for your backups. All set. Every hour, Microsoft will back up everything in your user folder (C:Usersusername).

Use the Hidden Screen Recorder App

Windows 10 has a secret screen recording tool that can be used to capture on-screen activity as a video file. One of the new features of the Xbox app is the Game bar, which allows you to record footage of your gameplay. But as it turns out, this functionality allows you to not only record video games, but capture footage inside most of your apps as well. Accessing the Game bar is straightforward. Simply press and hold the Windows and G keys. The Game bar, which is essentially a toolbar, will then pop up on the screen. If it’s your first time launching the Game bar for that app, you will get a message asking, “Do you want to open Game bar?”—simply click on “Yes, this is a game.” Once launched, it’s pretty straightforward to use.

In Windows 10, placeholders are replaced by selective sync. To change OneDrive settings, right-click the icon in the notification area, select Settings, switch to the Choose folders tab, and click the Choose folders button. You can either sync All files and folders on your OneDrive, or Choose folders to sync, meaning they will be available locally and you will be ready to go.

Just click the Task View button, then click any of the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen to switch to an open desktop. Closing your desktops out is equally simple—just click the Task View button, then hover your mouse pointer over one of the desktop thumbnails and click the X.

Another great way to quickly get to an app or file is to open the Start menu, either by clicking on it or using the Windows key, then simply type in the name of the app, file, or folder you’re looking for.
