Hello,<br />
<br />
I am using the File History feature in Windows 8.1 to back up to another location on the network. There is a file which I update every day. I believe this feature allows me to go back to recover a file 'as it was at any point in the past' -- could I ask how far back this history will go? <br />
<br />
If I create a new today for example and changed it every day for the next year with file history in use could I revert back 6 months or even the full year - will it allow you to go back to the date on which the file was first created?<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />

Windows 8.1 - File History --how far back does the versions go?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
