Upgrading but do not know what to do next...

[devarsh55]

Hi so I have already received all my parts for my new upgrade, new mobo, cpu , and ram,

PLAN & QUESTIONS:
-first i want to know if i will lose all my programs if I go from windows 7 on "old" pc to windows 10 on "upgraded pc" ?

-how do i backup all my programs to my hard drive so i do not have to reinstall them (if the first question answer says that i will lose all my programs I will stick with windows 7)

-after the backup is done and i am assured that i can upgrade my windows safely(where i will not have to struggle re downloading everything again) I will need to know how to properly remove all my parts from my pc, as i am trying to make it seem like a completely new build by rebuilding the whole thing/ and cleaning all the old fans and everything and better cable management
( is there any video or can i just take things apart one by one?, the videos i looked up were people just taking apart their pcs without proper instruction to newbies)

-that is pretty much it

When you switch to a different motherboard, you will have to do a clean install of Windows and reinstall all your programs. Some new CPUs are not fully compatible with Windows 7.

If you don't know what you are doing, it would be wise to read some How-To articles on building or upgrading your PC. This is one, Part 3 is how to assemble the computer, which is a reverse of disassembly. https://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Computer

Need to do a fresh install. You don't "back up" your former programs, you reinstall them fresh just like you installed them the first time. If there's app-specific data, back that up elsewhere.
