The EASIEST (and definitely the quickest) way to do requires WINRAR, 7zip or similar archiving software:

1. Find the project folder in windows explorer - double click to open this folder.

2. Create a new folder and name it "Backup."

3. While still in the project folder, select all files / folders, except the "backup" folder.

4. Right-click and select "add to archive" or "create archive" (command will be different depending on your archiving software)

5. Name the archive and click ok.

6. Move this archive to the "Backup" folder.

You're Done - to open the backup archive, open "Backup" folder and right-click on the backup file. Select "Extract" or create a new folder to which the files will be extracted and hit "ok" then open the project as you normally would from Android Studio, etc.
