Windows 10: Factory reset

Hi, I have a problematic little lenovo, and must do a factory reset. can i just be content with backing up my device to onedrive, or do I have to buy a hard drive and back it up there as they suggest whenever I call support? I guess i'm asking if it will save as much, or if it's good enough, or not.

:)
