ISOs

0. Backing up data

If you're gonna install an operating system and wipe your on a disk, consider checking these places for stuff you might've left behind:

• .minecraft folder and prism/multimc instances, contains screenshots, logs, packs..
• Web browser history, bookmarks, list of extensions
• Configuration files for program you've extensively personalized

2. Flashing the installation media

• Rufus - can tweak some Windows settings pre-install
• balenaEtcher - works better with flashing Linux from my experience
• Ventoy - can hold multiple ISOs (literally drag and drop it to the partition), then you choose what ISO to boot on at startup.

3. Booting the installation media
