Originally posted by **AnimishY** August 15, 2021 I have a device of configuration: i3, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Dual Booted to Windows 10 and Elementary 5.1.7 with 125 GB for Elementary OS. The sole reason to have Dual Boot on such weak and old device was that it was becoming difficult for the device to handle Windows 10 with a web-browser and a video conferencing app together and work without hanging for hours. So to ease my day to day work, I switched to Elementary OS, with no knowledge of Linux at all. I just knew how to make an ISO file to boot able media and install it. So I have been using it for months, and now I wish to update to Elementary OS 6, so my basic question is **_how to update to V6 from V5.1.7 without opting for a fresh/clean start, losing all apps and data._** I checked the official website it says nothing for those who already are on the OS, and in the System Settings app, it shows no components is available to update. Please note I am a 15 year old student with least knowledge of Linux, so please explain all steps, all commands you may refer to. I know it may be a lot extra effort to explain in such manner, and it would really nice of all of you guys to help me out. Thanks & Regards, Animish Yadav

@AnimishY thanks for filing this! We do have the elementary OS 6 FAQ on the homepage, in the release announcement, and on social media which addresses this as the first question. For tracking the issue on GitHub, we have this issue: https://github.com/elementary/triage/issues/46
