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?

Hi Raju
If your programs are your own: what language are they written in - and
did you have them backed up?
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
