Guess whose motherboard is on the fritz and is really anxious right now! I have a back-up laptop, but currently no way to port any of my hard drives over. Farewell for now, all my pics, vids, books and games!

I personally now store all my important files on external drives like my thumb drives and portable ssd that way if something bad happens to my main install or pc I can move over to another pc or os install while being relatively uneffected.

I have some stuff on little flash drives, but I neglected keeping a lot of it up to date. Luckily I have 200gigs of music on my phone so we're not 100% lost!

Tip to those making backups: make 2. My family had their single backup fail AND the computer, so they still lost it all. A second backup is a failsafe just in case everything breaks at the same time. And if you really want to be safe, have at least one backup that's not in the same building as your computer. That saves you from things like fires and floods.

There is also software that makes backups easier! Windows has it built-in somewhere in settings, and it'll backup whatever you tell it automatically. Same sort of thing exists for Mac, Linux, etc. Makes it way easier.

I install linux. long story short when I went back to just windows because it wasn't working alongside linux, it marked my extra drive as foreign. My only option was to switch to basic. I didn't know what that meant. Apparently it meant windows was going to delete the whole thing :o
