@Jack,

Insert your USB Device in your USB port and copy files from Mint to USB. No need to create partitions manually, just select auto…

Ok, but how do I select the files and move them to a USB drive?

With a clean installation do I still have to make manual partitions or can I let the device make the partitions automatically?

@Jack,

Better you can take backup of important files to your USB drive, and do a clean fresh install of Linux Mint…

I’m a newbie Linux user. I loaded Linux mint xfce 18.3 on my tablet some time ago. Now I want to remove 18.3 from my laptop and load Linux mint xfce 19.2 in its place, and have acquired a live bootable disk for that purpose.

How do I make a backup copy of what’s loaded now and can I use a USB for storing the backup?

Should I choose to remove everything from the drive after a backup copy is made for a clean install?
