Using Tortoise SVN for single user version control

Can I use Tortoise SVN to have better version control for source code on my personal computer?

I do not have to share the source code with someone, its just that I am tired of creating a new copy of the file every time I have to make some changes to it and keeping track of all these files.

Is there some link that explains the same that you can direct me to? or just tell me what I should be doing...
