I have a Lenovo laptop using Windows 10 22H2. I believe it's the right time to upgrade to the OS since official support for Windows 10 is ending soon. However, I'm worried about losing my files and installed apps during the transition to Windows 11. Is this accurate? How can I perform the upgrade without data loss? Thank you

1. Ensure you have a reliable backup of all your files, particularly important ones, as this is crucial for recovery. This habit is essential, especially before making significant changes.
2. Does your device meet the requirements for Windows 11 compatibility?

You'll need to continue using the 10 or switch to a new laptop.

You're able to, though it isn't completely acceptable. There are factors making older devices unsupported.

The laptop being discussed isn't compatible with Windows 11, which means this detail doesn't matter.

In general, upgrading to Windows 11 keeps your files, preferences, and programs intact. Still, minor complications can occur, making it wise to save your information first.
