Thank you for providing that information.  :-)


You are correct in wanting to back up Windows before going too far into 
Linux.  I use Backup and Restore and/or File History, depending upon 
Windows version/ edition.


Your Linux software/ use-case shopping list is very ambitious.  I 
suggest starting simple and building up as you gain experience. 
Installing Linux is one thing.  Configuring, operating, maintaining, 
adding software, backing up, restoring, updating, and upgrading Linux 
within a local network and Internet environment correctly and 
confidently requires a lot of learning.


Again, what is the make and model of your computer?  If custom, what is 
the make and model of the chassis and motherboard?  This information is 
required to make sensible recommendations.


Linux provides many useful tools for obtaining information about 
computers.  Please boot live Linux, connect your USB device, run the 
following commands as root, and post the console session (prompt, 
command, and output):

     # lscpu

     # dmidecode --type 17

     # fdisk -l

     # dmesg | tail -n 20
