      If you have a desktop, buy a second drive. You might even can use your Windows installation for apps with no (good) Linux alternatives.

      External, cloud storage, install Linux on a separate drive and move everything over.

      The world is your oyster, man.

      External hard drive is probably the cheapest/easiest solution. You can also try a cloud service like dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

      Use FreeFileSync to make your backups easily without having to copy everything by yourself, thank me later!
