I tested Timeshift which was standard in makululinux. But after backing up the root (including all files) and /home to my 1TB external drive,

I was left with zero files on the external drive!!! Not a particularly useful program. Tested then dejadup, same problem, no backup!

Hello, Sorry I’m late…

Fix Win7 bootloader with “boot-repair-disk-32bit.iso !” Search it to get the ISO image for USB install!

With mutlibootusb that doesn’t format USB, or deletes the files on it!
Or
With YUMI that doesn’t format USB, or deletes the files on it!

I’d borrow a Windows OS computer to do one, or the other. If you have a W7 ISO install along that with one of the above, and use that to FIX the Bootloader!

Steps…
Boot from the Windows 7 USB. Fill in the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method. Select Next.

Select Repair your computer.

On the screen, choose the Windows 7 installation you want to repair.

Choose Startup Repair.

Follow any prompts and accept any suggested changes. Wait. Choose Finish to restart Windows

I wish I had Windows 7 Pro rather than W10 Bloated OS. on my Dual Boot with W10 and Mint 20.04 and soon with Tails OS for Try boot with Linux boot loaders on its own 500MB Partition with / as root so NOT to mess with Windows booting!

Good luck

How do I find out where it was put and how to start it?”

Search and search and search Google.

..Welcome to Linux !! ;-)
