Before upgrading
Verify you meet all requirements before proceeding with the upgrade.
Version requirements
- Your system must currently run AtlasOS 0.4.x or newer
- Users on 0.3.x must perform a fresh install instead
Not Sure?
If you’re unsure about your current AtlasOS version, check the FAQ guide for instructions on checking your version.
Required files
Ensure you have:
- The latest AME Beta executable
- The new Atlas Playbook ( .apbx ) for the version you want to upgrade to
Backup important data
Recommended
While upgrades preserve most settings, always back up important data before upgrading.
What gets preserved
- All user files and apps
- Most AtlasOS tweaks and settings
Known limitations
Upgrading from 0.4.x 0.5.x:
The upgrade does not carry over Atlas Folder configuration (General Configuration, Interface Tweaks, etc.). You’ll need to re-apply these settings after the upgrade.
This limitation does not apply when upgrading from 0.5.x to later versions.
