Best regards, Raju Doing both disaster recovery and a (two) major version upgrade simultaneously sounds more complex that doing one or the other alone. Given the first is required, I would do a fresh install of Debian 9 onto a blank SSD and do the disaster recovery. David

I suspect the problem you may have is if they are in older versions of Python - otherwise, C or C++ should work. Be aware that some programs may be more memory hungry / larger in Debian 11 but otherwise there shouldn't be a problem. I would respectfully suggest starting from the unofficial non-free .iso file to give yourself a head start with any needed firmware. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater

Or, should I go with Debian 9 version? If the shared libraries that they're linked against still exist, they'll work. Most likely. The question is whether those shared libraries will be present on a clean installation of Debian 11. We can't guess without knowing more about your programs. You can try it and see. If one of the programs fails to run, try using ldd on it to see what shared libraries it's missing. Then, based on the knowledge you gain this way, you can decide whether it'll be easier to recompile them on Debian 11, or to launch an archaeological expedition to try to find the necessary shared libraries.

Dear Debian Users, Greetings of the day! I have been using Debian 9 version for the last 4 years. Recently, my computer crashed. I have to install Debian OS again. I am planning to install Debian 11 version. I have many of my own programs compiled on the Debian 9 version. Compiled programs in Debian 9 version will support in Devian 11 version? Or, should I go with Debian 9 version? Thank you very much. Have a great day! Best regards, Raju
