Also, I want to purchase Global Entry next time, and I think TSA-Pre is included? So can I buy Global Entry and that will add an extra 5 years onto my TSA-Pre?
thanks.

Even though Global Entry members receive PreCheck privileges, the programs are run by two separate entities and applications are made though different websites. Applications for Precheck are processed by the TSA and Global Entry applications are processed by the CBP.
When you apply and get approved for Global Entry, you will receive a new KTN and your GE expiration date will be five years from your next birthday following the approval date. It will have nothing to do with the current expiration date of your TSA PreCheck.
I suggest checking the
DHS Universal Enrollment portal to find out how to check the expiration date of your PreCheck status.
