Let me know when it's now safe to turn on my computer. Feels like it's been a while.
I have a computer that is still on Windows 10 and I need to back-up/convert to linux... but I haven't turned it on in almost a year now, and am procrastinating because I'm afraid of the grief it may or may not cause me. I would love for it to just tell me it's safe to turn on now lol
If you have multiple hard drives or external storage, you can boot to a live iso and copy off all your important files without ever booting Windows again.
Hey, that's not a bad idea! Didn't even think about that
I guess I'm weird, but I would look forward to that experience: installing a new OS, learning new things, discovering my computer all over again, drawing up a plan to achieve the migration, finding solutions to unknown problems ... Sounds like it would be a fantastic way to spend a weekend.
It's simply the "opening windows" part and having it harass me about upgrading or whatever it will do now lol. Most of my backup is up to date already, and installing a new OS and setting it up is the fun part, it's just pure procrastination and a little anxiety for no reason. But finishing my backup from a live USB might be fun enough to play with it!
