where are the logs stored in TFS2017

I've installed TFS 2017 in Windows server 2016. I just want to know the following

1. where are the installation logs stored in server?
2. Where are the transaction/history logs stored in server?

Correct me if am wrong, is it possible to backup history of logs and attach to TFS upgrade [in case of TFS version upgrade]?

The installation log file generally store in temp folder.

Typically this folder is : C:\Users\{name}\AppData\Local\Temp

And the Configuration logs stored in:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Server Configuration\Logs

The logs should be stored accordingly in case of TFS version upgrade.

Please refer to below articles for details(Even documented with old version of TFS and it's still apply for the new versions):
