Topic: How to Upgrade Bitcoin-QT? (Read 388 times)
Since today I haven't had any unpleasent problems with bitcoin-qt but I'll keep the guide in my head just in case. Thanks.
The first step is to back up your wallet.dat. The Bitcoin Wiki has information on finding your data directory, depending on your operating system:

Then download the latest version and run the installer. If everything goes correctly, you won't have to do anything else - your wallet will still be intact. If something goes wrong, you'll have to import your wallet from your backup. As long as you have a good backup, though, there's very little risk.

Good Evening Gents & Ladies.
I currently use Bitcoin-Qt as my local wallet. I see a new version has been released. How would I go about upgrading to the latest version (without losing my Bitcoins lol).
Thanks,
