Since we're talking about backup...

I'm on Windows 10 22H2, and in the last round of updates noticed that in
my start menu there's a link to Windows Backup. This isn't the old
Windows backup hanging around in the menus from Windows 7, this looks
new.

Digging a little deeper, it looks like it's only backing up files and preferences to OneDrive. :(

No, all MS accounts, free or otherwise, have OneDrive storage.

yeah but you need to subscribe to get enough space to backup, don't you?
