Some years ago I set up an Ubuntu-Mate computer for my wife, hoping to provide her with as much native protection from scammers, etc as possible. She has been happily using it, but for a good reason (employer related) I continued to use Windows (now 11).
It is time to replace her aging computer and she wants to convert back to Windows before I kick the bucket (hopefully not any time soon). Lots of good reasons for her to do so, including that my recollection of linux has faded in my aging (80 year old) brain. Of course we must transfer her entire linux personal files to the new computer.
I remember enough about linux to expect that file permissions will be a problem unless the transfer is done properly. However, I never understood file permissions and have no idea how to prepare them for permanent use on her new windows computer, which we have not bought yet.
Keeping in mind that I am still very much a noobie, how might I go about transferring her linux files to the new computer. Step by step please and if possible avoiding the command line as I remember very little about how to use it. If the command line is required, it will definitely need to be line by line.
Your kindness in assisting with this will be greatly appreciated.
I'm old, but still tryin'. Your patience appreciated.
