Windows 10: How to "reconnect your File History drive".

I have a Dell windows 10 tower PC. It's about maybe 5 yrs old, it's warranty expired. It wasn't used for a wile. So now I've been getting this message to reconnect my file history drive. I finally tried to see if I can fix it. I clicked on 'stop using drive' under settings, created a folder and named it 'File history drive' on desktop, then clicking on it's properties, then on sharing, then adding 'computer' to share with, didn't work. I get a message saying 'Windows was unable to find computer'.I then accessed the dos window, typing chkdsk.exe /f F: to try to fix it, but that didn't work eith
