| 19 | +How to Upgrade |
| 20 | +============== |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely |
| 23 | +shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the |
| 24 | +installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) |
| 25 | +or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is |
| 28 | +possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old |
| 29 | +wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Compatibility |
| 32 | +============== |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems |
| 35 | +using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin |
| 36 | +Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as |
| 37 | +frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on |
| 38 | +unsupported systems. |
