      Actually, Linux does support NTFS, although you won’t be able to run executables from it. I suggest getting an external HD/SSD to make a backup of all of your drives, then proceed with the switch to Linux.

      I always had a fat32 partion available for sharing stuff when i did dualbooting. Just for saving some stuff, but limited to 4 gb files then. Ntfs works as well so either partion or separate drive

      Are you just wanting to back up save files? I agree with the other person here, just backup the files that matter to you onto an external drive and then install Linux

        Dude I have no external hard drive that can store all the stuff saved on my two separate drives. No way to back all that up.
