All your data and apps will carry over: however, you need to be aware of something. There stands a small chance that some third party apps may not work. Now, don't let that scare you off. It's just a kind of cautionary thing they like to say just to cover themselves. Truth is, most apps should work just fine. There is one notable exception I want to make but I should do it as a new message as a matter of group ediquate.

If I upgrade to the new OS, will I loose the IBooks app from my Mac?? I don’t yet have a lot of vital info on my laptop, so I have not been backing up. However, I don’t want to loos IBooks, and if necessary I suppose I could use the backup system I use for my Windows computer. . Thanks.

Feel free to exercise the sudo rm -rf hammer to your satisfaction on that festering pile (or is it pestering file?) and go back—yet again—to the use of iTunes for book management. And if you have found a way to tame iBooks so that you can back up your books from the keyboard, please tell me about it.
