October 31, 2025Oct 31 I am a licensed (lifetime) Unraid user - and last September I created a server that I used for limited test run that did not work out for a number of reasons I won't go into here.I still have the original Samsung FIT (64GB) FLASH drive complete with 6.12.11 on it.How would I "update" this drive to 7.20 so I can start with that version during another "clean" server build later this fall/winter? CheersS

This is both an insurance policy and you also need access to the /config folder/directory to recover the .key file which is the Unraid license file that is tied to the GUID of that particular flash drive. Then you can wipe the drive clean and install the version of Unraid you want to use. You copy back the .key file to the /config folder and config your Unraid server from there. As a Personal Preference, I would do a manual install of Unraid. You can find instruction here:https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/getting-started/set-up-unraid/create-your-bootable-media/#manual-install-method
