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.
