What are the drive requirements for File History?
I have been trying to set up File History for my father's Windows 10 Home PC. I've attached several HDs via a USB3 port but keep getting "no drives found" when trying to set up file history. Some drives were in a docking station and one (which I most want to use) is a 2TB Fantom (sp?) brand external USB drive. That one is USB2. The drives are always visible in Explorer and can be read and written to. I noticed that the File History service was not running so started it but still no joy.
The only thing I can think of is there is something about all those drives that make them unusable for File History OR something else not enabled on his PC but MS in its infinite wisdom either doesn't publish the requirements or hides them too well for me to find. Likewise web search didn't turn up any hints as to what is wrong.
I don't recall his Windows 10 version number but know it is up to date.
Any ideas?
