Hi. I want to help a friend whose Windows is a mess with virus and stuff.
However, he's got many important things in his drive - so many he'd probably forget about a little something if he tried to list them to me.
Also another problem is: he's lost his DVD, so I can't use it to reinstall the SO.
His is a Windows 10 system, but I'd like to know the procedure for Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 as well, if possible. (For future problems that may arise.)
I've searched and found many different advices such as using an Ubuntu Live CD to backup, but I'm having trouble pulling together the pieces to create a "what I'm going to do" order.
Can anyone give me a comprehensible "step-by-step" (though not necessarily detailed steps) "how to" on this, please?
