When using a USB installation media and selecting Windows for upgrade, it may remove other files or non-Windows folders in partition C.

I haven't performed upgrades without backups, so it's uncertain. It's safer to back things up first. I've only upgraded from an old Win8.1 laptop to a new Win10 one.

I wouldn't make any changes unless I had everything safely stored in a completely different storage device.

That's a solid approach to take, I agree. It'll be a while before the upgrade, but I'll keep you updated on the progress. Thanks!

I usually kept backups but didn’t need to use them often. The upgrade process was always smooth.
