The output will tell you if it has eliminated pages and how many were eliminated. It won't tell you specifically where they are or what was on them.. This is...

The Query Store information should survive the upgrade.

Not really. More memory. Parameterization so that queries aren't ad hoc. Optimize for ad hoc so plan stubs are used for the one-off queries, reducing memory use, increasing the chances...

That's a sysallocations error. You should restore from a good, tested, backup. Or, you can run repair allow data loss, but I'm not sure it'll work. Here's a bit...
