Under Windows, GTA 5 stores your savegames in a location that you normally don't have in view. We'll tell you the exact savegame location.
This is where GTA 5 stores your play progress:
C:\Users\Your username\OneDrive\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\Hexadecimal value\

The hexadecimal value is a combination of letters and numbers, for example "532F6A9". This folder contains your saved games. If you want to back them up, it's best to make a backup of the entire folder, because you'll probably want to keep your individual game settings (graphics, controls) as well.
Step-by-step instructions: Open the explorer and click on "Documents" in the left field ("This PC"). In the folder view, scroll down to the "Rockstar Games" folder if necessary. There you will find the "GTA V" folder, which contains the "Profiles" folder, among other things. This is where all of your player profile data is stored, including things like your customized graphics and control settings.
Under "Profiles" you'll see the aforementioned folder named with a hexadecimal value; this value is something like your individual identifier. So the name of that folder will be different for each player.
