Hi! I'm about to upgrade my system to Windows 11, but I don't want to lose my data. Opera is installed on C disk, so I'd like to move it to another disk so my stuff won't be lost. I worry that it could lose my tabs that open automatically when I start Opera and my saved tabs on my tabs saver extension, would it be possible to keep those if I just move it to another disk? And how can I do that?
