19How to Upgrade
20==============
21
22If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
23shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer
24(on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) or
25`bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
26
27Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
28possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be
29migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
30
31Compatibility
32==============
33
34Bitcoin Core is supported and tested on the following operating systems or
35newer: Linux Kernel 3.17, macOS 14, and Windows 10 (version 1903). Bitcoin Core
36should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested
37on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
