Backup the necessary folders, such as documents, data files, and important projects.
You're preparing a fresh Windows installation and want to protect your sister's data. So far you've backed up the Users folder and copied it to your hard drive for access after installation. The program files folders don't contain saved files, libraries, or personal notes. Other key areas like Windows, ProgramData, and PerfLogs are typically used by the operating system and aren't meant for user data storage. Make sure to verify these locations during installation to ensure nothing critical is missed.
Ensure all required items are saved—music, photos, etc.—without using any system files for backup.
