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 pressingAlt + 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 https://help.opera.com/en/gx/]Opera 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.

It sounds like Opera GX isn’t accepting your credentials even though you’re entering the same email and password as your Opera Account. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:
1. Verify Credentials:
• Double-check that your password is correct by signing into your Opera account on a different device or browser via https://auth.opera.com/]Opera Authentication Page[/url].
• If you’re unsure, try resetting your password using the “Forgot password” link.
2. Check Internet Connection and Firewall Settings:
• Ensure your internet connection is stable.
• Sometimes, security software or firewall settings might block the sign-in process. Temporarily disabling them (for testing only) may help identify if they’re interfering.
3. Clear Cache or Use Incognito Mode:
• Try clearing Opera’s cache or signing in through an incognito window. Sometimes old cache can cause issues with authentication.
4. Update Opera GX:
• Make sure you have the latest version of Opera GX installed. An outdated version may have bugs that affect syncing.
5. Reinstall if Needed:
• If the issue persists, reinstalling Opera GX might resolve unexpected glitches with the sign-in process.
If none of these steps work, consider checking Opera’s support forums or contacting their support team for more specific troubleshooting related to your account. Let me know if you need further help!
Great! If Opera GX sync is enabled and it's working, then you're all set regarding data backup for your browser. Here are a few things you might want to do next:
Verify Sync Is Working:
• Make a small change (like adding a new bookmark or adjusting a setting) and check that it appears on another device (if you use more than one). This will confirm that your data is updating correctly.
Enjoy Your Browsing!:
• With sync enabled, your bookmarks, history, and other settings will be securely stored on Opera’s servers, so you can rest easy knowing your data is safe, even after your upgrade to Windows 11.
Keep an Eye on Updates:
• Make sure to periodically check for updates in Opera GX to benefit from improvements and bug fixes, including those related to security and sync functionality.
If everything appears to be running smoothly, you’re all set to move on to other preparations for your Windows 11 upgrade. If you have any further questions or run into issues later, feel free to ask. Happy browsing and good luck with your upgrade!
Excellent! When you click "Sync All" in Opera GX, it means that all of your browsing data—bookmarks, history, passwords, settings, and more—is being backed up to your Opera account. This ensures that if you switch devices or upgrade your operating system, you can easily sign back in and have all your data restored.
Since you've confirmed that sync is enabled for all data, you're in a great position. Just double-check by making a quick change (adding a bookmark, for example) and verifying it appears on another device or via Opera’s web interface if available. Otherwise, it looks like you're all set for your Windows 11 upgrade.

Ctrl + D
). The Opera Sync settings page (opera://settings/syncSetup) is only for configuring what data gets synced. It isn’t designed for directly adding bookmarks. To add a bookmark in Opera GX, you should do the following:
Adding a Bookmark in Opera GX:
• Navigate to the webpage you want to bookmark.
• Click on the star icon in the address bar (or pressCtrl + D
).
• Adjust any options in the dialog that appears, then save the bookmark.
Once the bookmark is added this way, Opera’s sync feature will automatically back it up to your Opera account (as long as sync is enabled for bookmarks). To verify, you can check your bookmarks on another device or via Opera’s web interface (if available) after adding a bookmark.
Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions!
ALRYes, if you've already set up and enabled sync in Opera GX via opera://settings/syncSetup, you don't have to add a test bookmark unless you want to verify that everything is syncing correctly. Just be aware that any new bookmarks you add later will automatically sync to your Opera account, so you're all set for your upgrade. If you ever need to double-check your sync status, you can try adding a bookmark temporarily to confirm it appears on another device. Otherwise, feel free to skip the test.
