Do I need to backup my system or all the information and files on my computer (pictures, documents, music, etc.) on a separate device before I upgrade to Windows 10? Please give me an answer. Thanks!

The answer is a big yes! Upgrading an OS is a major task and a lot of things can go wrong. You don't want to lose everything when upgrading, right?
To avoid data loss in upgrading, here are some suggestions for you:
Solution 1. Make a system image of the drive that has Windows installed on it. You can use EaseUS Todo Backup to do so with these easy steps:
Solution 2. Make a Windows 7 System repair disk or Windows 8 Recovery drive. You'd better test it after creating it. Just check if you can boot from it.
Solution 3. Make a backup of all your files for applications you have added.
