If I update to windows 8.1 through my local account, all my files and all my information are saved?

I have windows 8 on my desktop, I do not use a Microsoft account to connect to it, I use a local account. If I update to windows 8.1 all my files and all my information stored? and I will be able to connect to my local account without losing any of my information, such as files and app?

Original title: I have a Local account on windows 8.

Yes, absolutely.  This 8.1 update is really pretty as a Service Pack or set of updates.

The only thing I can think of that can only be an impact for you, it's to the point 8.1 of Windows, you cannot use SkyDrive (now called OneDrive) unless you use a Microsoft Account on your profile.  In other words, you can not just use 'on the side '.  That could be a deal breaker if you rely on OneDrive to store all your files and settings.  But if you are not using OneDrive today, then it don't you impact at all.

    If I update to windows 7 to 10 will I lose all the data stored, photos, etc.

    It seems that you do not have to back up your data regularly. A lot of people don't. By far the best incentive for them to change their habits is a disastrous loss of data. In this forum, we receive their calls for assistance with great regularity.

    To answer your question:

    • People do not back up their irreplaceable files regularly (e.g. weekly) will sooner or later lose them. It's only a matter of time.
    • People performing a major operation as an upgrade of the operating system considerably increases the risk of losing their data.
    • Those who backup their data without immediately pick up some examples of files on another PC often find that their untested backup is useless.

    This current position illustrates the problem.

    Hi cthodges

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:

    Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem?

    We can try a few steps and check if it works:

    Run explorer.exe from the Task Manager > new > task. If the start menu reappears, it would confirm the cause.

    We can now perform the following steps:

    Step 1:

    Run an on-line analysis of your PC of malicious software:

    If you want to scan your computer for malware and potentially unwanted on a Web site, please use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner.

    Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is an online service that lets scan you your computer to protect yourself, clean and operate at its best. Use our free protection scan to check and remove viruses, spyware and other potentially unwanted software and to find vulnerabilities in your Internet connection.

    You can also run Anti-Malware on your computer. Follow the steps in this link:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/ba80504b-61f1-4D71-960f-b561798b7b42

    Step 2:

    To use a boot option, follow these steps:

    a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.

    b. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.

    c. when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in the bottom, select the installation that you want to start and then press ENTER.

    If it works fine in safe mode, infer you that all third-party programs are causing the problem.

    Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

    S tep 3 :

    The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
