Explanation / Answer

Answer)

We will discuss about the Windows 10 OS.

1-Event Logging - Event logger in an OS is the log for all the events occurring in the OS. Windows 10 also has got an Event logger known as Windows 10 Event Viewer. Event Viewer is generally used while troubleshooting an issue and seeing the logs for help to know what's going on. There are mainly some types of events for which the Events are generated as:

•             Application events

•             Security events

•             Setup events

•             System events

•             Forwarded events

2-Backup and Restoring Data - A backup is a last resort when recovering lost data from the primary PC. There are 2 types of backup Files backup and System backup.

Using File History we can make regular and backup copies of our personal data and files and thus store it in an external drive or another location.

Restoring the backup files from File History. Enter File History into the Search bar -> Go to -> Restore Your Files With File History -> then recover those files from your external hard disk.

We can also use Cloud storage services to backup files and data to the cloud and synch then regularly.

System Image in Windows 10 can be made for backing up the data. System Image creates a image of your entire systems and OSs hard drive and stores it. Got to -> Backup And Restore -> Create A System Image. WE can also recover the system using this system image.

3-Two factor authentication - Windows 10 has got Two factor authentication where you would have to type a username and the password associated with that account and then you will need to setup an email address, phone number, or authenticator app on which you'll get a PIN for using with the password to make a successful login to the system.
