I’m just so sick of Microsoft and Google. But there’s two things holding me back:

  1. I wanna play Steam games on my PC

  2. I am just an amateur hobbyist, not a tech wizard

Is there any hope for me?

    thanks! right now the primary obstacle is arranging adequate backup before maling my first attempt.

    I have a laptop with Win 11 for troubleshooting so I’m not worried about that. and I have most of my stuff on externals, so there’s not much to backup. I just gotta figure out a good way to back up my C drive and a plan for reverting if necessary!

          I’ve only heard recommendations for Macrium Reflect, but I’ve never used it myself. Never heard anything bad about it either, should be good if it’s what you are most comfortable with.
