What I think I'll do

I have a laptop that's running Windows 7, and I've been wondering what to do. I don't especially like Windows, but it's occasionally a nuisance not to have a copy. Here's my plan:

Boot off a Linux USB and take an image backup of the Windows 7 disk.

Upgrade to Windows 10.

Take another backup of the disk.

Install Mint.

Create VMs of Windows 7 and 10.
