(SOLVED) upgrading from 6.1 to latest version

[hwilker]

I am trying to upgrade from v6.1.6 to the latest version of unraid.

 

I'm running a plain vanilla version of 6.1.6. I have no VM's, no Dockers, etc.

 

I've looked at the wiki, checked that I have the room on the flash, and that my network bridge name is 'br0'.

 

But, I'm unclear as to what to do next.  Do I first upgrade to 6.2 and then follow the directions for upgrading from 6.2? If so, I'm not clear how to get to 6.2. Or, am I just supposed to do a fresh install of the latest version. If so, are there directions on how to do this correctly from 6.1.  Can someone point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

Just download the zip file from https://unraid.net/download.  

 

Make a quick backup of the flash drive somewhere onto your desktop, then copy all the bz* files from the downloaded zip onto the flash drive.

 

Delete /config/plugins/dynamix.plg on the flash drive if it's present

 

Reboot

I'm confused. The link you gave points to an exe file not a zip file. It appears to be intended to do a fresh install for a new user (without any prior data.)

Did you scroll to the bottom of the page where there is a zip file link for all recent stable releases?

Duh! My bad. Thanks.
