When upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11, will I lose everything? As i know. Microsoft generally designs the upgrade process to preserve your files, apps, and settings. However, there are some important points to consider:
- If you choose the "Keep personal files and apps" option during the upgrade, most of your data, installed programs, and settings should remain intact. This is the recommended way to upgrade to minimize data loss.
- Some programs may need to be reinstalled if they are incompatible with Windows 11. Rarely, upgrade failures can lead to data loss, hence the importance of a backup.

But to be safe, back up everything beforehand. If you're unsure or have critical data, a full backup or clone of your drive is the best approach.
