File History in Windows 10

What's the file history? ?

File history is a backup application that continuously protects personal files stored in libraries, desktops, Favorites, and Contacts folders. It periodically scans (by default hourly) changes in the file system and copies the changed files to another location. Whenever any of your personal files change, their copies are stored on the dedicated external storage device of your choice. Over time, the file history will establish a complete history of the changes made to any personal file.

Note: File history only protects user libraries, desktops, favorites, and contacts. Other files (such as operating system files, applications, and settings) will not be backed up

So how is Windows Ten using the file history?
