Reconnecting an unconnected driver

My main drive is a C Directory. I have two other network driver directories of an S Drive, and an M Drive.

Error messages have come up, with a big red cross through the directories, stating that I cannot connect to the directory, and that it remains unconnected.

As far as I know, the directory is backed up. I right click on the unconnected S Drive, go to Properties, and note that there are no previous versions of that drive available. No previous date is listed. Nothing.

How do I reconnect the S Drive, and make it work. And how do I keep copies so that previous versions are available?

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to

  Type PowerShell in Search Window and then right click on it and click on
  Run as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following command to find your interface Index:

• 
  Use your interface index (for example 5) with this command:
