Will my data be erased if I install windows 11 from insider program
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?

It erased my wife's files...ALL of her files. None of the fixes online work either. So she gets to restore from a rather old backup from OneDrive. So I guess by utterly deleting ALL of your files when you "upgrade", Microsoft is ensuring they own you by forcing you to keep buying more OneDrive space.
One heck of an "upgrade". Be sure to backup ALL of your files before you upgrade because you may well need it.
