Image backup your computer
Perform the upgrade
if all is ok then you are done
not ok then restore from image.
Also since you are contemplating moving OS
You could also do a clean win11 install.
In both cases you will need to install the applications you use (PBWin, PBCC, etc.)
My personal experience upgrading 3 machines to Win11 has been without issues (All 3 machine had the minimal requirements)
After upgrade my local accounts were preserved. (I only use Win Pro version, not Home)
I Usually run https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Which also works with Win11 to disable telemetry, and other annoyances.
Finally my experience using my PBWIN programs, with Linux and Wine, was not without issues. (YMMV)
