A user wants to run a major update on a laptop. Which of the following should be considered before running any major updates?

Restoring folders from backup is an action performed *after* an issue has occurred or to revert changes, not as a preparatory step for an update.

Changing the administrator account password is a general security practice but is not directly related to preparing the system for a major update.

Major updates can sometimes introduce unforeseen issues, system instability, or even data corruption, which could lead to loss of personal files. Backing up important folders beforehand creates a safety net, allowing the user to restore their data if any problems arise during or after the update process.

Printing all personal documents is an inefficient and impractical method of data backup and does not protect digital files from loss during an update.
