Important folders to backup from C-drive before cleaning it up
Hello.
I'll be cleaning up my Windows computer to give it to my sister.
I've backed all of my personal data from Drive D.
But I might've a lot of important data in Drive C too, that I would like to back up.
I never created any folders there intentionally, so everything that might have been created there is by external programs like web browsers or office softwares.
And their config files too.
I would like to back them up.
The problem is I've not used this system for like a year so I can't recall all the folders I should back up.
Can you please help me with a list of folders where system saves user data in C drive?
Cloning isn't an option for me, cause 70% of the storage is acquired by Windows programs that I had installed in the past, and I won't need them for I'll be moving to Windows 10 and a lot of those softwares are really old and now incompatible, and I've their setup files to be on the safe side.
EDIT:
I switched to Windows 10 last week.
The only folders one needs to backup are:
C:\ProgramData\
C:\Users\<username>\
The config files I was querying about stay in:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\
More info on this.
More reading.
Thank you all.
