    Will I lose my data, settings, and programs if I upgrade to Windows 10


    What Molyy said. You just never know what might go wrong. I recently upgraded my 8.1 to 10 (10166) and did not lose any data and/or programs, but I did clone my original 8.1 to a second hard drive, and also kept a system image on and external drive...just to be safe.

    Whenever you do anything, safety is never guaranteed. They should be

    safe, but things can go wrong, so It's always wise to be sure you have

    a current backup on external media before undertaking a big step.

    And by the way, your question suggests that you don't do regular

    backup of your data. If that's the case, you've been playing with

    fire. It is always possible that a hard drive crash, user error,

    nearby lightning strike, virus attack, even theft of the computer, can

    cause the loss of everything on your drive. As has often been said,

    it's not a matter of whether you will have such a problem, but when.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
