Windows 10: Defining the Drive for System Image and File History backups

The first time you go launch File History it will ask for the backup drive you want to use.  It will also ask when you plug in a USB external hard drive.

1. Open "Settings" app, this is the gear icon that you see when you click on the Start button in the lower left of your screen.
2. Open "Update and Security"
3. Select "Backup" category in the menu tree on the left.
4. Click "More options" under Backup using File History
5. Scroll way down to "Back up to a different drive"
6. Click "Stop using drive"
7. Go back to the main Backup window
8. Click "Add a drive"
9. Select the new drive  (For some reason, it only listed my network drives, I wanted one of them so I did not pursue the issue.
