@joemartin @Artim is correct there is not currently an update path from major releases (3 to 4 or 4 to 5).

But... You also don't have to update right away, unless you want to.. LL4.8 will be supported for sometime - another 3 years..

LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz  - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)

No, there is no upgrade path to a new SERIES (from 4.x to 5.x).  When 5.0 comes out, Jerry will announce it here on the web site, and on Facebook, and whatever other outlets.

So, is there a Lite Upgrade path to go from 4.8 to 5.0?  Will there be a notification of the new release that appears or do you just periodically check?

Thanks, Artim.

"Within a series" means you can upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8, but not from 3.x to 4.x (x being whatever point release).  The first number is the Series.

Newbie question. Is it always possible to use the Lite Upgrade tool to upgrade to a new LL release?

I noticed during install that it stated, "Lite Upgrade can upgrade within the Series".  Not sure if that means Lite Upgrade is safe to use as log as you don't skip a release in the sequential order or if it means that sometimes you need to do a fresh install?

Thanks.
