Re: [GNC] Upgrade to V4.5

[will]

Just to provide another example, my upgrade strategy on Mac OS ...

1. Download the new version.
2. Double click on the .dmg file.
2. Copy the .app file to a folder within the folder where I keep all the 
versions. Currently the folder contains
Gnucash-2.6.1-1
Gnucash-3.0-1
Gnucash-3.4
Gnucash-3.10
Gnucash-4.0
Gnucash-4.1
Gnucash-4.1.4
Gnucash-4.2
Gnucash-4.4
Gnucash-4.5
3. Start using it.

I should note however, that while I don't specifically back up the Gnucash data 
before upgrading, I always have three backups running of my system: an hourly 
backup to a local hard disk with Apple's Time Machine, a cloud backup to 
CrashPlan/Code42 every 15 minutes, and a daily clone with SuperDuper.

Re: [GNC] Upgrade to V4.5

[David H]

My upgrade strategy on Windows is always the same and has never caused any
problems...

1. Backup your Gnucash data file.
2. Download new Gnucash file and double click on it to start the process.
3. Let Gnucash uninstall the current version and then install the new
version - no need to do the uninstall beforehand.
4. Start using it :-)

Cheers David H.

[GNC] Upgrade to V4.5

[Peter Williamson]

I have a very basic question; it reflects my computing level.

I am currently using Gnucash V4.4 on a Windows 10 computer and want to upgrade 
to the latest version on the same computer.

I have read the upgrade information on Nabble but was unable to decide whether 
the best method is to just install V4.5 over V4.4 or to uninstall V4.4 and then 
install V4.5.

I just use Gnucash for bookkeeping and investment stock records.

At this stage I just manually update commodity prices and banking data so i am 
not worried about setting up my preferences and few reports again.

Peter
