S10+ e/OS version updates

Previously I have set up my phones (S9+) using Windows, but will give a S10+ a try with the Mac Simple Installer.

I am thinking of upgrading as I want to try Android S. Unfortunately there is currently no OTA for this model, when I update it with newer versions of e/OS will I lose all my settings and data, or can I go to higher versions of e/OS using the installer and keep my settings/data?

Thanks
