updating from 1.2 to 3.6 on a Windows 10/Linux Lite dual boot

hi
Win 8 was preinstalled and have this new Bios uefi witch is trickier! but dual boot can be done.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is the successor to BIOS

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I had to reinstall it. On one machine, that originally had a dual boot with 1.2 and Windows 7, and had been upgraded to Windows 10, I installed it in the same partition as 1.2 and it worked beautifully. The Windows Dual Boot that I made with EasyBCD still works.

On another machine, however, that was already running Windows 8 won't let me modify the boot menu with EasyBCD, so I'm not sure yet what I'm doing with that one. but at least one is working.

There is no between series upgrade.  In other words, you cannot go from 1.2 to 3.6 directly.  You would absolutely need to do a clean install to Linux Lite 3.6.

Hi @moshiachnow

I have a dual boot with an old version of Linux Lite (1.2). I would like to upgrade to 3.6

I don't think that's possible, I don't even think it's possible to upgrade from 2.x series to 3.6. You'll have to download LL 3.6 .iso and do a fresh install. Grab it from here https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php

I have a dual boot with an old version of Linux Lite (1.2). I would like to upgrade to 3.6.

I did the installation using the instructions on a YouTube video that has the boot choice controlled by the Windows menu and would like to know how I can upgrade without messing that up.

The way I installed it is detailed in this video:


Any advice/guidance would be appreciated.
