Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

Welp. Time to buy a NAS to back up all my stuff and rebuild this pc with Linux.

NAS is just a Linux machine with fancy storage.
(I know thats technically not an accurate statement but Im standing by it, I know what I said)

But for a one-time backup of one pc you just need a disk tbh - and even that one can be the single one in your current pc if you are able to make a partition for either backup or for Linux.

Like, space permitting, just carve our a partition & transfer there what you would to NAS (or external disk drive, or an additional drive connected to the pc).
If space is a bit tighter just carve out the few gigs needed to install Linux on that (nowdays for most users "it's fine"). Then must boot into Linux & use the rest is the drive as is.
Ofc if you have full disc encryption, raid etc this solutions are slightly more complicated.

I wanted to but a NAS system anyways to do house backups and stuff.

And this system is RAIDed so getting everything on to the NAS will be easiest and start the process of setting up backups for the home.

Yes, another lost soul coming home to the self-hosted community!!

May I PSA/strongly suggest going FOSS early on?
(So not getting a closed software NAS)

Good luck on your journey!
