I need to move my system to linux , however there is data on my system i need to backup, any way I can do that ?.

If you have a desktop, buy a second drive. You might even can use your Windows installation for apps with no (good) Linux alternatives.

Ok yeah external hard drive makes sense ! I used windows only for my univ work , they needed Ms office for their reports etc , office 365 basically but since its over now ,I can use the apps I want

Jest as aside, you do know you should have backups in place before something happens. What if your pc died tomorrow?

[–] jungekatz@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah i do need the backup for that purpose , my PC is relatively new it has mostly my univ code and some work docs.!!

New computers are the ones more likely to fail.

External hard drive is probably the cheapest/easiest solution. You can also try a cloud service like dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

[–] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

External, cloud storage, install Linux on a separate drive and move everything over.

The world is your oyster, man.

Use FreeFileSync to make your backups easily without having to copy everything by yourself, thank me later!
