What Happens to Boards and Workspaces if the Original Creator Leaves?

Question

I have a board where a member, who was also the creator of this board and the workspace it belongs to, no longer works at my company. If I remove this person from Trello, will I lose the boards and workspaces they created? If so, is there a way to transfer ownership of these items to another user?

When a member is removed from a board, the member will be removed from all cards on the board. This simply means they will no longer be a member of those cards. However, any other actions on the board (e.g. comments, checking off an item on a checklist, etc.) will remain. For example, if the member left comments on the back of the card, the comments will remain even if the member is removed from the board.

When a member is removed from a board, automations they have created will also be removed. To help prevent this, the member should add their automations to an Automation Library.

The owner is another user, but I am also an administrator, my question is will removing the owner remove the comments, frames, movements? Or is the history stored there?

As I understand it if you are admin as well as the original owner there should not be an issue removing the original owner, but disclaimer: I've not tried this in a rwal world scenario
