Android sync to win7?

[HeyKitty]

got a verizon galaxy S4, what will I need to do to back er'rything up on a win7 desktop?

The simpler the better, like Itunes 1 button backup button.

A lot of stuff is synced across Google's server but if you want a literal backup like you get on iPhones then you'd need to root the device. If there are specific things like texts you want backed up, I'm not sure if Hangouts sorta does it automatically by syncing (provided you switch to making it your default sms app) but there are apps that don't require root that could probably do this for you.

Well this is for a stupid person, they just want to backup their phone... so preferably the simpler the better. Ive been using an Iphone for a year, so I have no idea what is a stupid simple solution.

What are you looking to backup? As I said before, if you're looking for the same kind of backup you get with iPhones then you'll need to be willing to root your device which, while simple for those that know what they're doing, is a daunting task for those that don't.
