Even if you don't receive any more news, the Windows 10 it's still being updated by Microsoft for a few more years. The software giant wants to ensure that its system can still be used safely and with quality.
Thus, and although with some surprise, a novelty now appears in the test builds (versions) of Windows 10. The application dedicated to Microsoft system backups has become available.
Was in build 19045.3391, released this week, that Microsoft marked this path. The tool is still in the testing phase, but should reach end users soon, probably in one of the next updates that will be released later this year.
Although it is at a very early stage, everything appears that this proposal for Windows 10 is similar to what is in Microsoft's latest system. It will allow you to save folders, applications, credentials and settings of the user's current system in OneDrive.
BUT: Microsoft will block updates to older versions of Windows 10

Interestingly, and because this app doesn't (yet) work as expected, there's already some speculation about Microsoft's purpose. There are those who say that Microsoft is preparing a way to make it much simpler for users to migrate to Windows 11, making a new installation without any history.
The arrival of this app and what it brings to Windows 10 users is important news. A tool has been requested by users for many years.
