When i install WINDOWS 11 do my google accounts gets removed?

i have Chrome with 12 accounts * FIREFOX / Brave / Valdi / OPERA GX / will my accounts be removed when update to Windows 11 ?
 


Solution
Yes, all your installed browsers on Windows 10 should remain in place when you upgrade to Windows 11. This includes not only Chrome but also Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera GX, and any other browsers you might have installed. The upgrade process aims to keep your applications and personal data intact. Just remember to back up your important data as a precaution before starting the upgrade process. If you follow these steps, there should be no issues with your browsers post-upgrade.
That's great to hear! If your Chrome data is already in sync with your Google account, you're in a good position. In that case, your bookmarks, history, settings, and saved passwords are safely backed up online and can be restored if needed.

As an extra precaution, some users also export their bookmarks locally by going to the Bookmark Manager (type chrome://bookmarks/ into the address bar) and selecting "Export bookmarks." But if you're comfortable with your sync being in place, you can skip that step.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

do i need to export all my thing in 12 accounts(chrome) TO A D-disk ?
 


If your Chrome sync is enabled for all 12 accounts, your bookmarks, passwords, and other settings are safely stored in the cloud, so you don't necessarily have to export everything manually to your D: drive. However, many users choose to create a local backup as an extra precaution, especially if you have a lot of accounts or critical data you want to protect.

In summary, it's not mandatory if you trust the sync, but exporting a backup might provide additional peace of mind in case something unexpected happens.

exporting a backup in all 12 accounts?
 


You only need to export a backup for your Chrome profiles if you want an extra local copy of your data. Keep in mind:

• Chrome sync will back up each profile’s data to your Google account, so you can simply re-sign into each profile post-upgrade if needed.
• Exporting bookmarks is done per profile. If you want a local backup of bookmarks for all 12 accounts, you’d need to switch to each profile individually and export its bookmarks.
• For many users, relying on Chrome Sync is sufficient, but a local export provides that extra safety net if something unexpected happens.

So, if you're comfortable with relying on the cloud sync for all your profiles, you can skip the local export. Otherwise, you might consider exporting the important data from each profile. Let me know if you have any more questions!

so i can SKIP Export if all my account is in ''SYNC'' ?
 


Yes, that's correct. If all your accounts are properly synced with Chrome, you can safely skip the local export. Just make sure you verify that each profile is indeed syncing and that all your important data (like bookmarks, saved passwords, etc.) is updated on Google's servers. This way, if anything happens during the upgrade, you can simply re-sign into each profile and restore your data from the cloud.

re-sign LIKE A Login with Email/password in google?
 


Yes, exactly. After the upgrade, if you need to re-sign into your Chrome profiles, you'll log in using your Google account email and password (and any two-factor authentication if set up). Essentially, it's the same process as when you first sign into Chrome.

i checked all 12 acc / they all in sync
 


Great to hear that all 12 accounts are in sync! That means your data is safely backed up to Google's servers, and you can simply re-sign in to each profile after your upgrade if needed. It sounds like you're all set—good luck with the upgrade, and feel free to drop by if you have any more questions along the way!

i did in vivaldi - last sync: today 13:43,
 


Great, that means your Vivaldi data is safely synced! Your bookmarks, history, and settings are backed up in the cloud, so you'll be in good shape after upgrading to Windows 11. If you have any other syncs or questions about your browsers, just let me know!

Awesome! Setting up the sync section with your account in each browser is the way to go. That ensures that all your data—bookmarks, history, settings, and more—is securely backed up to the cloud. With this in place, you'll be able to easily restore everything after upgrading to Windows 11. If you ever run into sync issues or have any more questions about your browsers, just let me know!

IN OPERA GX i dont see Synchronization
 


In Opera GX the sync feature might not be as obvious as in some other browsers, but you can still enable it by signing into your Opera account. Here's what you can do:
Option 1: Via the Main Menu
  1. Click on the Opera GX icon in the top-left corner.
  2. Look for a Sign in/Sync option in the drop-down menu. It might appear as either "Sign in to Opera" or "Synchronize".
  3. Click that option and follow the instructions to sign in with your Opera account. If you don't have an account yet, you'll be prompted to create one.
Option 2: Via Settings
  1. Open Opera GX and press Alt + P (or navigate to Settings from the main menu).
  2. Scroll down in Settings to see if there's a Synchronization or Sync section—this may sometimes be located under a "Privacy & security" section depending on your version.
  3. Sign in with your Opera account from there to enable syncing of bookmarks, history, and other data.
If you still don’t see any sync or sign-in option, it might be due to the version of Opera GX you're using. In that case, double-check for any updates or consult Opera’s support documentation for the latest instructions.
Once you've signed in, your browsing data should be safely synced to your Opera account, and you'll be able to restore it if needed after your upgrade. Let me know if you need more help!

i did THIS

  1. Click on the Opera GX icon in the top-left corner.
  2. Look for a Sign in/Sync option in the drop-down menu

But STILL Cant find it
 


If you’re still not seeing the sync option after using the main menu method, here are a few additional steps you can try:
1. Update Opera GX:
Ensure you’re running the latest version of Opera GX. Go to the Opera GX menu, select Update & Recovery (or similar) to check for updates. Sometimes sync features may be improved or made more visible in a new release.
2. Use the Settings Panel:
Try pressing Alt + P to open settings. Then look for a section titled Advanced or Privacy & security. In some versions, the sync option may be hidden under these sections. Also look for a profile or account area.
3. Look for a Profile Icon:
Some users have noted that the sync or sign-in option is accessible by clicking a small profile/user icon on the browser’s interface (often in the top-right corner). If you see that, click it to see if a sign-in prompt appears.
4. Check Opera’s Help Resources:
Visit [url='https://help.opera.com/en/gx/ GX Help Center[/url] for guidance on the latest interface. The support pages or community forums might have updated instructions or screenshots.
5. Reinstall Opera GX (as a last resort):
If none of the above works, consider reinstalling Opera GX (making sure to sign in afterward). Sometimes a clean reinstall can resolve interface glitches.
If after trying these steps you still can’t access the sync feature, it might be a bug or a change in your current version’s interface. In that case, checking Opera GX’s release notes or contacting their support might be the best next step.
