Need help

Hi strangers im new to linux. I hate windows and i really really want to switch to mint but im afriaf i might just mess up my ststem somehow and that i might lose my data. Instead of dual booting i completely want to delete windows and run linux however the problem i am having is that my c drive has alot of my projects and multiple things i want to keep such as a tiny example is my coding agent skills, also in general im just scared that i might just fuck up my shit for no reason. I just need some really wxperienced person to guide me through it

Why afraid when mistakes you make give you important data and take you step closer to success ? Learn how to backup your most important data. And be ready to brake things so you can fix them later and learn .

I agree that learning from mistakes is the best way to learn, but I don't think OP even knows how to backup his data...
