I've ordered DELL G15 5510 laptop. It has DELL apps and a paid windows activation key and McAfee antivirus built-in with its paid activation, and I've created two user accounts. But, it hasn't received any windows 11 update, the latest update has been got in this week is the 22H2 update ( KB5022834 (OS Builds 19042.2604, 1904 4.2604, and 19045.2604) ), and I've seen that Windows11InstallationAssistant is available for me. So, does this upgrade delete these mentioned data which this laptop has ?

The only possibility is that if an app or program is deemed incompatible it may b removed.

    I can't be absolutely sure. Any purchase from the windows Store will be okay and windows itself won't lose activation. For other programs you need to look at the original purchase details.

    That's a good option to know. But, the purchases about any activation won't be removed, will it ?

    Hi AL,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.`

    Upgrading to Windows 11 using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant will not delete your apps and files.
