Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google
Microsoft has paused its latest pop-ups, for now.

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?
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.
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!
