Will VB4 erase the data of 3.8.4?

I have two urgent questions:

1.I am currently running VB3.8.4 PL1: if I intent to upgrade to VB4, shall I upgrade to VB3.8.4 PL2 first?

2. If I directly upgrade to VB4, what will happen, all the files and data of VB3.8.4 will still exist or be erased?

Thank you for your help.

If you have data from plugins and uninstall the plugin you will lose that data. Just disable the plugins to save that data.

All other forum data will be converted over for vb4 you will lose nothing.

Here it is in 8 steps.

1. Backup database and files
2. Disable all plugins 99% are going to be incompatible
3. Remove all styles, 100% is goign to be incompatible
4. Delete all files except for includes/config.php (maybe save any images folder as well)
5. Disable plugins/products via config.php just to be sure
6. Upload vB 4 files
7. Run upgrade.php
8. Prosper

Wouldn't be a very good upgrade if it erased your data...

Backup first as a precaution (you should be backing up daily regardless) but no, the upgrade shouldn't remove any data.
