Will installing Windows 10 preview delete my files?

I'm currently running Windows 8.1, and I use Steam, so I have some games installed onto my computer. My question is though, will installing Windows 10 preview delete my files? I really wouldn't want to have to re-download my browser, the extensions, my Steam games, etc.

    It'll ask you during setup if you want it to keep your files and settings, just make sure that box is checked and you'll be good.

      What about software compatibility? What are the chances bloated 3rd-party software like ArcGIS might not work quite like it should after the upgrade?

    I did an in place upgrade over 8.1 using the Windows Update method, and it didn't touch any files. You should be fine.
