How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer
(on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on macOS) or
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
Bitcoin Core is supported and tested on the following operating systems or newer: Linux Kernel 3.17, macOS 14, and Windows 10 (version 1903). Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
