Windows 11 Windows 11 update

[Biscuitman]

Hi everyone long time no see.
Well, I've held out for as long as I could but I'm about to update from Windows 10 to Windows 11 !!
Just wanted a perspective on any pitfalls that I should watch out for.
I've held out this long as I'm terrified of losing data and I'm backng up all my personal windows files etc onto a portable hard drive.
However will things like the Thunderbird email app with all my old emails still be there after the download? What might disappear?
There's some stuff on there I can't afford to lose.
Ie. does it keep everything else the same or does it wipe the slate clean?
Some advice would be appreciated.

Make sure to choose the option that keeps your current setup.

Even if it wouldn't be affected (I don't think it would), you should still backup your data and Thunderbird files.
Some emails may be with your data and some may be in the Thunderbird app.
