No, unless you separately choose to erase the drive or a problem occurs.

this is not macbook pro forum

someting you have instlled

not enough ram

small disk free space

older model (2011 etc)

a clean install is always preferable

you have junk installed

something that isnt compatible

run etrecheck, may be surprising, always informative & helpful

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry that I've landed in the wrong forum, but it seems to be helpful, anyway.

What do you mean by 'run etrecheck'. Have no idea what it is, or how to do it, and probably if I do, am not able to understand the results and what to do about them!
