Hey guys I am still confused on what to do to get both coins. I have all my bitcoins on my electrum desktop wallet. However someone says that does not support BCC.

Is a desktop wallet considered a hardware wallet? If I cannot get my hands on a  Trezor or Ledger Nano S hardware wallet in time for the fork, Should I take everything off electrum and put it on a paper wallet?

Thanks for the help I am a total noob at this stuff still.
