I’m going to switch from Windows 11 to Linux soon but first I wish to backup every every data and config files I can in my current Windows installation, even those that wouldn’t natively work in Linux. I know the \Users folder is important to back up, but I don’t know what other directories I am missing.
In such cases I usually do a disk image copy after I remove apps that aren’t required. That way I have all the files and I can boot it in a virtual machine if necessary.
