During installation it will ask if you want to save data, etc. but...there is no guarantee something will not be lost and programs that are not compatible with W-10 probably won't be kept or if kept, you won't run. You should always back up your data before even trying the upgrade and make sure you have the program discs you'll need to reinstall programs that don't move to W-10. W-7 has a backup / restore feature that allows you to save everything to an external drive to protect your data before upgrading
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can update from Win 7 (64) to Win 10 Pro (64) without losing your data; be as support for Win 7 expires in January it may behoove you to do so. However, if your PC is scalable, I added a new hard-drive along with the upgrade and a RAID configuration was established automatically.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, I did exactly what you want to do about a month ago. I had a 64 bit windows 7 box and used this to upgrade to 10. Worked fine and I lost nothing. Files and apps stayed put. Just make sure you create a backup of your files as a precaution. There are directions to do this on the net. I was so worried that I backed up the entire hard drive in case I had to restore but it upgraded fine. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did exactly that. I had the additional wrinkle of having Chrome as a my browser. Everything went well and programs, documents and photos are intact. For safety's sake I would recommend saving your data first on an external hard drive.
