Just a few days ago, Microsoft gave the green light to start shipping the new Windows 10 feature update. Specifically, we refer to the October 2020 Update that is already reaching compatible devices.
This is the second major update of the year that the Redmond users send out to their users, although somewhat less than the one sent last spring. With everything and with this it is advisable to install it as soon as possible when we get to Windows Update , although possibly more than one still wait a while longer. This is a move that many carry out to try to avoid the problems that these updates cause in computers around the world.
In fact, the bugs we refer to here are not only limited to feature updates, but also the rest. Whether it’s small security patches or cumulative updates, flaws are often present. Hence, many users are somewhat reluctant to install these Microsoft releases right out of the box. But with everything and with it if we want to follow the recommendations of Microsoft itself and install the new October 2020 , we can take some precautionary measures.
One of these may be to save our personal data stored on the computer, in a safe place, just in case. Thus, in the event that a disaster occurs on the PC or we make a mistake, this personal data will not be in danger under any circumstances.
Save your data to OneDrive before updating Windows
Therefore, for this we always have the possibility of using Microsoft’s own service to store content in the cloud, OneDrive. This provides us with some interesting advantages that can be very useful if necessary. Specifically, we refer to the possibility of saving this data in backup mode in the aforementioned storage service.
To begin, we will tell you that this is a service implemented in Microsoft’s own services, such as Windows 10 or Office , so it is very easy. Thus, it is enough that we use the Microsoft account that we have in Windows 10 to use that storage space for free. To say that this will help us to have, for free, up to 5 gigabytes to save documents, photos and videos before updating to October 2020 in Windows 10.
Of course, to this we must add that in the case of having a problem in the download or installation, later we can recover this data without problem. It is enough that we start the new Windows 10, and with that same account we download everything that we had saved back to the PC without any problem. At the same time, for the most sensitive documents, OneDrive offers us the so-called Personal Warehouse that carries an extra protection in order to maintain maximum privacy.
At this point, say that among the OneDrive options itself , we find those that facilitate data management and subsequent recovery.
