cleaning Install windows 11

Question

Due to a series of unfortunate issues I'm forced to do a clean install of the Windows 11 and my Adobe products. my old system is still in operation and I do have a up to date lightroom backup. My question is when I restore with the the back up does cover all the continous lightroom history, file locations and collection settings. or should I save the entire lightroom folder and pull it back once I have the clean install completed?

Second Thought Can I move lightroom to One Drive get it functioning there?

Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)?

Assuming LrC, you need to have backups of all original photo files, your catalog and if desired, presets. See:https://www.lightroomqueen.com/backup-lightroom-files/

Do not even consider moving Lightroom Classic to OneDrive. Many people have problems with that including speed issues and corrupted catalogs/corrupted files.
