I plan to set up Windows 11 officially, but I have a few concerns beforehand. I’ve supported hardware except the GPU, though I’m still unsure about some aspects since I’m not very tech-savvy. Here are my questions:

1. Will installing Windows 11 erase all my data?
2. If I don’t like it and want to revert to Windows 10, can I do so without losing any data?
3. Should I disconnect all other drives before installing Windows 11?
4. Since it’s still in beta, should I expect major bugs or glitches?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It's an in-place upgrade. You can simply revert to the previous version. Yes, you're correct. It's not overly refined right now. If you encounter problems or something fails, just reach out and we'll probably suggest installing a stable Windows 10 release.

There is a possibility it might mess up your setup. It’s usually safest to save your files before making big changes in Windows, such as switching from one operating system to another.
