HyperV

An upgrade should take around 5 minutes.

Supported upgrade paths

All appliances must upgrade to v3.0 before upgrading to versions above v3.0.

Tip

If an upgrade fails (due to an unsupported upgrade path), you can attach the previous ISO to recover the appliance.

Warning

Do not detach the ISO from the virtual machine at any point, even after the VM has been deployed.
