Use a service like Backblaze to back up your files to the cloud or an external drive. This ensures your data is safe in case of hardware failure or power outage.
In Windows, use the built-in SMART tool to verify your drive’s health. Open Command Prompt and run wmic diskdrive get status. If the status isn’t “OK,” consider replacing the drive. See our Hard Drive Health page for details.
If your drive is encrypted, disable BitLocker in Windows: Go to Control Panel > System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption, select your drive, and click “Turn off BitLocker.” Wait for decryption to complete.
You’ll need a spare hard drive or USB drive with enough space for your Windows Users folder. In Windows, right-click C:\Users, select Properties, and check the size. Ensure the spare drive has at least this much free space (e.g., 50 GB for 40 GB of user data).
Download Ventoy and install it on a USB stick. Copy the Jackjump Migration Tool ISO (downloaded after payment) to the USB. Ventoy makes it easy to boot from the ISO.
Restart your PC, enter the BIOS (usually by pressing F2, Del, or Esc during boot), and set the USB as the first boot device. Save and exit.
Boot from the USB, select “Start Linux Mint,” and follow the Ubiquity installer. Choose your install drive and spare drive (copy drive). The tool automatically detects Windows, copies user files, and installs Linux Mint. For details, see Linux Mint’s documentation.
After installation, log in as the main user, double-click the “Jackjump Configuration” desktop icon, and run ./jackjump-config.sh. For additional users, run it again with ./jackjump-config.sh username, entering a password when prompted. This configures browsers, wallpaper, and desktop icons.
