Does Live USB preserve my files?
Does Live USB preserve my files?
You've set up Pop OS on your USB drive, but you're wondering if your work will remain after restarting and reinstalling. It's best to back up your data before proceeding with a clean install, as it could affect your files. If you're unsure, consider using a backup method first. For the installation itself, a clean install is usually safe unless you have specific concerns about data loss.
Selecting the demo mode will not preserve your progress. Use a persistent storage solution instead. https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/cr...ash-drive/
The live mode in the installer isn't permanent; it resets on each startup. It doesn't retain any data until you perform another installation. However, you can transfer it to a USB drive or SD card for consistent use. A premium, high-speed version would be ideal.
