Migrate existing iTunes music library from iTunes on PC to Apple Music

I currently have had iTunes for PC for over 10 years now. I am considering moving to Apple Music and wanted to know how I can move/migrate all of my songs and albums from iTunes to Apple Music without either losing them or having to repurchase them. Thank you.

iPod, iOS 9

OK, I assume you mean you are thinking about subscribing to Apple,e Music on your PC via iTunes. Once you subscribe and turn on iCloud Music library in iTunes, all your music will be uploaded to the cloud so you can listen to it on any device. You will no longer need to (nor can) sync your library to an iPhone with iTunes (as I assume you have done in the past). There is no way I or anyone else can guarantee there will be no problems. That is why I suggested you backup your current library (and have it available if you unsubscribe).
