I want to install windows 11 from insider program. Will my data from local disks and my apps and all the other stuff will be deleted?

I was able to upgrade from Windows 10 without losing any of my data or apps.
With that said, best practice state you should make a backup copy in case something goes wrong.
Thanks!

I am unable to do a backup even though i have a 1tb hard drive. i have some false positive apps. when i go to back it up in back up and restore (windows 7) i just get to 97% and then get could not complete the operation because an error has occurred. is there a way to bypass this error?

Hi this thread is about the installation of the Insider program, surely you are asking for an update of the Stable Version of Windows11?
Of course, it is recommended to make a backup of your personal files - but upgrading through the Windows Update section does not change the settings and does not remove the applications that are installed, so it is safe to install Windows11 if your computer meets the requirements.
Good luck

davidbmarker backing up means backing your files in c drive right?
I have all my personal files in other than c drive, should I worry about backing up?
