You might lose Windows 10 along with all your files if you don’t back up first. Formatting the SSD is usually necessary to erase everything.
The setup matches what you had on the original Windows 7 version
I advise against upgrading to Windows 11 due to a significant risk of breaking the operating system. It’s wise to prepare backups and make arrangements for such an issue. Alternatively, you could install a fresh version while you’re at it. Regarding the "non-zero" probability, based on my observations, it’s quite common. In my immediate environment, I’ve noticed several systems failing after an upgrade—perhaps a handful of cases. I believe upgrading should only be considered if you lack a straightforward clean installation method or have OS elements that are hard to revert to a clean state. Keep in mind that not everything comes with you through an upgrade; assume your settings are lost at least initially. Speaking of this, use the compatibility checker Microsoft provides to determine if you’re eligible for the upgrade. It should either prompt you to proceed immediately or list issues. If I had to guess, it might be due to insufficient space being allocated for the installation.
