Usually not, but in some rare cases yes, it depends on the software. And you can always back up what you need to before updating.

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Depends on what type of update. If it is just a patch then almost always no, you will lose nothing. Sometimes an update changes to a new version like 1.0 to 2.0, then you might lose some user settings, but usually not any files or data that you may have entered. The update website will tell you the details usually.

If you have version 1 software and update to version 2 of that software you can keep the old software. before you update copy the version 1 files and keep them on your pc or burn then to a data CD

If you are talking about software from most major software makers like Microsoft, Intuit (Quicken and Quickbooks), Adobe, etc, then no, if you upgrade it will not affect any of your saved files. I would say anymore that nearly all software companies have their software written so it is easy to upgrade (how else would they continue to get you to buy the new versions?)

No, old files should still work on the updated program.

You should backup anything you saved in the old one. The one will have newer features, and you can open older versions. If you were a bit more specific, I could give you more details.

no, 'cause new programs are backwards compatible with the old files but is always good to make a backup just is case.
