## Can I upgrade to a new Armbian release?

Yes! A simple `apt update && apt upgrade` will upgrade all Armbian-related core packages (firmware, kernel, bsp) to the most recent version available just like it will for underlying distribution packages.

Yes! The simple `armbian-upgrade` command, which is an alias for `apt update && apt upgrade`, will upgrade **all Armbian-related core packages** (firmware, kernel, BSP) to the most recent version available just as it will upgrade the underlying distribution packages.

Performing this is out of scope for Armbian domain and we cannot provide any support if something goes wrong.
92-
An experimental way of doing this is available through `armbian-config` but also here no supported can be provided.

In any case when trying this make sure you have a proper backup for your whole system.
91+
Distribution upgrades (e.g. Bookworm → Trixie, Jammy → Noble) are **outside the scope of Armbian support**. If you attempt such an upgrade, we cannot assist if problems occur.
92+
93+
An **experimental upgrade option** is available in [armbian-config](https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/System/#stable-distro-upgrade), but it is provided *as-is* and without support.
94+
95+
Keep in mind:
96+
97+
- A distribution upgrade usually updates **all system packages**, which in 99% of cases come from the **upstream distribution (Debian/Ubuntu)**.
98+
- **Armbian firmware, kernel, and U-Boot are not part of this process**, which makes the upgrade generally safer from a hardware-support perspective.
99+
100+
If you decide to proceed, always ensure you have a **full backup of your system** so you can recover in case the upgrade fails.
