    Do I lose anything when upgrading


    Hello, I am upgrading to Windows 11 and I'm wondering if I lose any data from upgrading. I have a lot of Minecraft and other game data that I don't wanna lose. Will I lose anything once the upgrade is complete? As that matter even create a Windows.old? I have an image to show what is from the Microsoft Store and what not.

    :)

    Video card or RAM need upgrading?

    Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
    I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
    I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

    In-place upgrade - XP to 10 without losing the apps


    Wolfgang, you need at least two steps (Vista & Seven) between XP and 10, the Eight can be bypassed:
    • XP can only be in-place upgraded to Vista, not Seven or later
    • Vista can be in-place upgraded to Seven but not Eight or later
    • Seven can be in-place upgraded to 10
    • Ergo: XP to Vista is a must, as well as Vista to Seven but then you can bypass the Eight and jump to 10
