How to backup iTunes before your Windows 7 upgrade

I think it’s clear my life revolves around Microsoft’s products but I also have an iPhone and music, apps and loads of other stuff on it.  I’ve noticed on Twitter that people are scared about getting this stuff moved, but you needn’t be.  It’s very, very easy, here’s how to do it.

*Note you’ll need a DVD-R/RW for this

Step 1 – Select File > Library > Back Up to Disk…
