# [Tails 7.1](https://tails.net/news/version_7.1/)

# Changes and updates

  * Change the home page of _Tor Browser_ in Tails to an _offline_ page, very 
similar to the home page of _Tor Browser_ outside of Tails, instead of an 
[_online_ page from our website](https://tails.net/home/).

  * Improve the message when an [administration 
password](https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password/index.en.html)
 is required to open an application but no administration password was set in 
the Welcome Screen.

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your Persistent Storage

  * Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 7.0 or later to 7.1.

automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual 
upgrade](https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).

## To install Tails 7.1 on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install instead of
