Keep all your crypto safe & upgrade to a Ledger Nano X Hardware Wallet Alternatively, if you prefer a 100% Open Source wallet, a Trezor One is also a great value wallet
Like any backup process, it's worth making sure that it actually works from time to time. Fortunately, most major hardware wallet manufacturers provide a mechanism for you to safely verify that your seed phrase (BIP39 mnemonic, recovery sentence, etc) in a secure and non-destructive way.
This can be easily done on a Ledger, Trezor, Keepkey or Coldcard.
---------------------
If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase:
For Trading, just start with Binance:
By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don't have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
Get a Ledger:
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
