iTunes in Windows 10 won't let me archive my backup

While trying to archive the backup of my iPhone to iTunes in Windows 10, the iTunes won't let me archive when I follow the instructions that say to right-click the backup file in preferences>devices. Help!

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2, Windows 10

That facility is only available on a Mac. You can make a manual copy of the backup set in C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup and give it a folder name that ends in -yyyymmdd-hhmmss but iTunes won't show the set with a different name in the list of backups, through presumably if one is the active backup for a device the time will update on the next backup.
