Probably should make an actual post or google it myself, but is there a way I can convert to Linux and keep my windows files and transfer them across?
You can copy them to a thumb drive or huck them in the cloud, install Linux, and then copy them over. There’s a few other ways if that doesn’t work for you.
That works thank you.
I was kinda hoping to have like a shared folder both systems could access but I figure that's to hard
Not at all. Personally I like to have a shared data partition for my media files. Both OSes can use that just fine, if it's NTFS or exFAT formatted.
Cool, I'll look into it, cheers
What kind of files are you wanting to keep?
You can partition or preferably install a second drive and install Linux on that. You can then access your files on the other drive/partition and connect your Steam library to your existing library without any issues*. Want to go back to Windows? Just boot into it and your updated files will be there.
*Only thing is you'll need to either disable fast boot on Windows or shut down by using the restart option or else the Windows drive is locked to read only.
Word documents photos videos and such. Basically all the sbitbive hoarded over the years that i don't want to get rid of by accident
Any way to do that other than backing them up to another machine/USB drive is too risky IMO.
2 weeks ago I got a Steam survey on my Steam Deck. Hope it helped.
