What do I lose when upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 11/10?

I've been exploring the new features of Windows 11/10, and I'm considering an upgrade. What would I lose in the process? I'm keen to embrace the new Windows 11/10 trend, but at the same time, I'm comfortable with my current Windows 7 computer, which holds all my data, favorites, photos, music, apps, emails, and many things I'd hate to part with. So, what would be the best solution for me?

Unfortunately, the answer is no: Easy Transfer can move program settings, but not programs themselves.
