Can I install Linux without losing files?
When you switch Linux distributions, the default course of action is to wipe everything on your computer. The same is true if you perform a clean install of an upgrade to avoid potential complications. Turns out, it’s actually quite easy to perform clean installs or change Linux distros without losing data.
Will I lose my data if I install Linux?
If something goes wrong during installation (e.g. you accidentally format the D: partition), your data is lost. You can follow any step-by-step Linux installation guide, e.g., Guide To Install Linux Mint Alongside Windows. Please remember to take backup of your hard disk before you do anything.
