Zorin OS Upgrader is Now Available to Give You Hassle-Free Update Experience
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
You can finally upgrade Zorin OS editions without needing to re-install. Better late than never?
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Zorin OS is undoubtedly one of the [most beautiful Linux distributions][2] out there. Based on Ubuntu LTS, it gives users a Windows-like experience (not limited to) in a well-rounded package.
|
||
|
||
However, it lacked a seamless way to upgrade.
|
||
|
||
In a recent announcement, the folks behind Zorin OS unveiled a new updater app to handle all OS upgrades, finally! 🤩
|
||
|
||
Another reason to consider why it is one of the good choices for beginners? I think so...
|
||
|
||
So, without any further ado, let's briefly look at it.
|
||
|
||
### Zorin OS Updater: Initial Impressions ⭐
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Zorin OS Updater's arrival was a given, seeing that the devs had **received many requests from users** over the years for a **one-stop solution like this**.
|
||
|
||
Previously, users who wanted to switch to a newer release or change the variant would have to do a complete reinstall of Zorin OS and had to set up their system from scratch.
|
||
|
||
Well, no more!
|
||
|
||
The Zorin OS Updater app is a neat solution that allows users to **perform major release or variant upgrades effortlessly** without needing a clean install of Zorin OS.
|
||
|
||
**For example:** Let's say you are on Zorin OS 15 Core; you can use this app to upgrade to Zorin OS 16 Core or even Zorin OS 16 Pro.
|
||
|
||
So, moving on.
|
||
|
||
Let's look at the updater app and how it works. We also show you how to use it briefly at the bottom section of this article.
|
||
|
||
When you launch the app, you are shown a page with the current version/variant of your Zorin OS installation and a list of available upgrades.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
When you proceed, you can either choose from a normal installation with all the bells and whistles, or you can go for the minimal installation with the core utilities.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**If you are upgrading to Zorin OS Pro**, you must enter your email address and support code to proceed with the upgrade.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
After that, you will be shown a final prompt screen for beginning the upgrade.
|
||
|
||
They recommend you back up your data beforehand. If something were to go wrong during the upgrade process, you would have something to fall back to.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
When the upgrade process starts, a progress screen is shown with all the essential upgrade stages being highlighted.

||

|
||
After everything is set, you can reboot your system to finish the OS upgrade process.

### 📖 How to Access Zorin OS Updater
|
||
|
||
All you need to do is **update your system** to get the new Zorin OS Upgrade tool installed.
|
||
|
||
However, it is **currently in beta testing** and not yet available as a stable tool. You can expect it in the next few weeks.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ Update your system via: Zorin Menu → System Tools → Software Updater
|
||
|
||
You can try manually installing the beta version at your risk.
|
||
|
||
Open the terminal and enter these commands:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt update
|
||
sudo apt install zorin-os-upgrader
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, to start the upgrade procedure, launch the '**Upgrade Zorin OS**' app, and follow the on-screen instructions.
|
||
|
||
**For users of Zorin OS 15:** If you don't see any upgrade options when you first launch the upgrade app, then you will need to run the following command in the terminal:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
gsettings set com.zorin.desktop.upgrader show-test-upgrades true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can read the [official help guide][10] for more information.
