Does anyone else arrange their data in a way that protects against the inevitability of a windows install failing??

I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,,,my desktop no longer booting and its been "attempting to repair windows" for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??

I'm on a Mac. Actually never had to reinstall my OS (usually install once when the computer is new). I still keep my actual data separate from the system installation disk/ device. It's just the smart thing to do.
But maybe I'm too old-school… back in the Amiga days we had a write-protected system floppy disk (aka the "Workbench" boot disk) and then we kept our actual data on some other (writable) floppy disks. I moved that mentally over. Now I shuffle hard disk drives instead floppies, but the concept is basically the same. :)
