Yes, data can be moved easily from one version of Windows to another. The problem comes when you wish to move applications. Depending on the way that the conversion from Windows 7 to 10 is accomplished, it may be necessary to reinstall the applications. No matter what, though, be sure to back up any data you definitely want to make sure not to lose since any in-place upgrade has the potential for data loss and a complete reformat (assuming that is what Windows 10 will require) will definitely cause any data that is not backed up to disappear.
first upgrade to win7 home premium and then use anytime upgrade to ultimate! that was easy....
There is no direct upgrade from Windows XP to Win 7. Any of version of Win 7 you purchase will remove Win XP and all programs and data. You will need to back up all data and reinstall all programs.

There is absolutely no reason to update from windows 98 to windows 2000. Windows 98 is a much better operating system. If you want to update to XP then reasons exist to upgrade. With any operating system, programs have been added and deleted. The programs and data can be all over the disk in spite of all attempts to prevent it. The directories can be a mess. Totally cleaning the disk and starting over means the disk will be totally clean. The registers will be clean. The files will be clean. The programs will all be in one piece. The data will all be in one place. The directories will all be clean and accurate. You will start without any viruses.
On "large" drives, it is advantageous to use the NTFS file system for performance and reliability. Windows 2000 will offer you the choice to convert your existing FAT32 file system to NTFS. However, there is always a risk of the conversion failing, and you losing valuable data. By backing up the data beforehand and formatting the drive clean instead, you will not risk data. Also, many installed programs will not work right after an upgrade, and will need to be reinstalled anyway.
Programs that have "messenger" in their name will usually transfer some type of data.
no...read the upgrade notes at MicrosoftNo, not if a filesystem format was done as part of the upgrade. Take backups of ALL data before upgrading...
