16How to Upgrade
17==============
18
19If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
20shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
21installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
22or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
23
24Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
25possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
26wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
27
28Compatibility
29==============
30
31Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
32using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
33Core should also work on most other UNIX-like systems but is not as
34frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
35unsupported systems.
36
