      If you have a desktop, buy a second drive. You might even can use your Windows installation for apps with no (good) Linux alternatives.

          New computers are the ones more likely to fail.

      External hard drive is probably the cheapest/easiest solution. You can also try a cloud service like dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

      External, cloud storage, install Linux on a separate drive and move everything over.

      The world is your oyster, man.
