How do I update AtlasOS? #188

Closed grandeljay closed 7 months ago

grandeljay commented 7 months ago

I've just recently switched to AtlasOS a month ago or so and now version 0.4.0 is available which states I need to reinstall Windows. Is this the equivalent of reformatting my PC? Do I need to backup everything, install AtlasOS again and then restore everything?

Hi - to upgrade to v0.4.0 from previous versions, you must completely reinstall Windows. See our documentation for instructions on how to do so. Future versions past v0.4.0 are unlikely to require a complete reinstall of Windows.

In the future, we'd prefer that questions like these be asked on our Discord or forum instead of GitHub issues.

I see, thank you.

See our documentation for instructions on how to do so.

I did check it. It just wasn't clear to me, whether I can reinstall windows and somehow keep all of my files and applications or if I need to backup everything, wipe everything and restore everything again. It sounds like the latter is the case.

In the future, we'd prefer that questions like these be asked on our Discord or forum instead of GitHub issues.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind for the future!
