Hello people, I have a dual boot with EOS Windows 7 and I was not planning, but I will have to upgrade to Windows 10 since I will need to use some specific software to work soon.
For me the ideal situation would be to install Windows 10 from scratch - I must have deleted files from the system, since the current Windows 7 seems to be corrupted (there is no way to log in via the Administrator account, etc.). I already knew that when doing a clean installation of Windows 10, EOS can be erased, or something, and that because of that I will have to backup my EOS data and settings, which is possible with the Timeshift (which is already installed via PPA, according to the guidelines in the specific thread here in the forum).
I have already saved two bootable USB drives, one with Windows 10 and the other with EOS.
At the moment I think I need to know how to calculate the size needed for the new HDD partition that will receive the EOS backup via Timeshift.
Below are the partitions as they are now:
p;s: I also ask if Timeshift can rescue not only data (files) but also programs and updates that I have now. Knowing this will help me to plan better.
