Backing up
Filesystem compatibility
As of 2025, i think you can boot into NTFS (the filesystem that windows uses), BUT,
that doesnt mean you should, i would highly discourage doing that.
Now, linux usually uses ext4 or btrfs, though, i usually use ext4.
Knowing that, youll see an issue here. Windows cannot read any filesystem that isnt NTFS or fat32/fat16. That means, that you can access all of your windows files from linux but not the other way around.
Actually backing up
You can back up your data in 2 ish ways:
- Into external storage (usb stick, external hard drive)
- Onto the Cloud
Both of these have their ups and downs, you have to have an usb stick or hard drive big enough for your data, or have enough space in google drive or whatever.
However you choose to do it id highly recommend uploading any photos, videos, other important documents, game saves you have where ever you can.
