I'm thinking about uninstalling my operating system, but I want to make sure I don't lose any personal files I have on my hard drive. Can I just move my files to the root directory, or should I store them somewhere else first? Any advice would be appreciated!

When uninstalling or reinstalling your OS, it's best to move your personal files to a separate drive first, especially if you're planning to format your current drive. You might want to consider getting a fast SSD for your OS and keeping the old hard drive as a secondary storage option. This way, you won't risk losing important files during the process.
Always back up your files before making changes like formatting drives. You should physically disconnect any drives with important data to avoid accidental overwrites. If you format the wrong drive or if the installer does it automatically, you could lose everything! So, better to be safe than sorry.
