Kapothi Note 🪶:
Before running the backup command, create a folder where you want to save your Wi‑Fi profiles — for example,
⚠️ If you created the backup folder on your C drive, make sure to copy that folder to another drive or external storage before formatting or restoring your computer. Otherwise, your Wi‑Fi backups will be lost during the reinstall.
