[Qgis-user] Upgrade process from QGIS version 3.24.1 to version 3.34.3

[Christian Castro]

Thanks John,

I was wondering if there are silent install switches for this version of QGIS?
I did a web search, and, in the past, there seemed to have been some trouble with the silent switches however that article is 5 years old:
https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19650

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any recent articles on silent install switches nor documentation about this in the QGIS site. Maybe you could point me in the right direction? I’d appreciate it.


Thank you,

Christian

You don't often get email from johnwbryant at gmail.com<mailto:johnwbryant at gmail.com>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Hi Christian, if you download the installer and run it, you'll get walked through a few dialogues. Mostly agreeing to licences etc.

Your old installations are not automatically removed, you should manually uninstall them once you're happy with the new one. You can run multiple installations on a Windows machine though... for example, you could run both the long term release and the latest release, in case you wanted to be able to access both.

Perhaps worth considering whether your users need/want the latest release, or the long term release (LTR is more stable, LR has newer functionality). Note that there is a new LTR to be released in the very near future (see road map<https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html>).

All your user settings, UI config, data source connections, etc are saved to your user profile which will work across all installed QGIS 3 instances.

Cheers!
John

Hello,

We have users running QGIS version 3.24.1 that need to be updated to the latest version. This would be 3.34.3 as per your website.
What is the update process like? Just download the 3.34.3 msi file and click next or is something else?
Does the installer automatically remove the 3.24.1 version or?

And would any data they created in 3.24.1 still work in the 3.34.3 version?


Thank you,
