"To exclude folders from the backup, select Exclude folders from the left navigation menu, click Add, and choose the folders you want to exclude. To copy the backed-up files to your new PC, plug the drive into it, repeat the above steps, and click Restore personal files. For more detailed instructions, see " How to use File History in Windows 10 and 11.""
"We recommend that you use the same folder organization on your new PC as on your old computer, at least to start. Note: If you are transferring files from a Mac to a PC, the external hard drive must be formatted as MS-DOS, not NTFS or APFS. SD cards and thumb drives use the same FAT32 format on both macOS and Windows, so if your files fit on those storage devices, that's often easier than using a hard drive."
File History lets users exclude folders via Exclude folders in the left navigation, click Add, then choose folders, and restore backed-up files by plugging the drive into the new PC and selecting Restore personal files. Files can also be migrated by copying them to an external hard drive, SD card, or thumb drive, ejecting that device, and copying to the new PC. Maintain organized folders and reuse the same folder structure. Mac-to-PC transfers require external drives formatted as MS-DOS while SD/thumb drives use FAT32. Cloud email syncs automatically; locally stored client email should be on a server to avoid transfer issues.
