Hi, if I choose the upgrade option on WIN 10 installer will it keep my settings and apps like mail and outlook accounts, emails, calendars. I do not have gmail and such so that's why I am asking. And in the calendar app I have pretty crucial informations that I have been writing for more than 4 years. Another question, where can I find my windows calendar and mail files ? Where does Windows store it? And if i can find it somewhere and save it, can I load calendar data into calendar or mail or outlook again? Thanks.

An in-place upgrade install should keep your information; however, you should ALWAYS have a backup of any data you cannot easily download or otherwise re-create again. Highly recommend creating a backup of your system before performing a reinstall, especially since your post says you have "crucial" information in the Calendar.

 

If you're signed into Windows using a Microsoft account, the calendar normally syncs with Outlook.com by default, and IMAP or ActiveSync Email accounts should sync with their respective servers. If you're unsure of your configuration or otherwise need to backup local files, I won't be your person cause I don't use Windows UWP Apps.

Yeah, of course i know that backing up data is always the best way. Okay so maybe somebody knows where to find local calendar data. Thanks!
