It is best practice to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using an in-place upgrade method without the need for user data backup since the process preserves the user's data, applications, and settings.
In-place upgrades of Windows operating systems do typically support moving or preserving system files, however it is critical to always create backups in the event the upgrade malfunctions or data is lost. Backups should always be made before any major system change!
