I've been using Windows 11 and I'm ready to make the switch to Manjaro. I've already tested it in a virtual machine and it worked great! Now, I need some guidance on how to properly set this up. Any tips or steps I should follow? Thanks for your help!

First things first, make sure to back up all your important data because the installation process will erase everything on your hard drive. After that, go download the Manjaro ISO from their official website, and flash it onto a USB drive. Just a heads up, the USB drive will be wiped during this process. You might also want to look up the BIOS key for your motherboard so you can change the boot settings later. Once you've got your USB ready, turn off your PC, plug in the USB, and power it on. Keep pressing the BIOS key as soon as you hit the power button to access those settings. If secure boot is enabled, disable it. Then, locate the boot menu in BIOS and select your USB drive to start the installation! It should be smooth from there.
Thanks for the tips! Do you know any good tools to make a backup, or is it a manual process? I've booted some PCs before but haven't made a security copy.
