What computer are you running at the club
Windows? If so, which one??
If it IS Windows, then the upgrades are very easy. You just install a new version “over the top” of the old version. All the user files are preserved
BUT PLEASE READ THE RELEASE NOTES for the version you are upgrading TO. From old releases, there may be some intermediate steps you need to take. Do NOT skip them

Here is the situation.?
The MRRC I belong to is a bit antiquated. They run a Digitrax based system with a DCS-100 command station, and JMRI 4.6 with a Sprog II programming interface.
Of course the decoder definitions are not close to what some of the members run(myself included). Digitrax decoders are limited to series 6 for example.?
I would love to upgrade JMRI (have 5.10 and Java 17 at home with my DCS-52).
The questions remain,
(1) What files should I back up prior to the upgrade? I am thinking since we do not run panels or operations from JMRI just the roster needs to be backed up.
(2) Should I install Java first before the upgrade? I did Java 11 when I first downloaded JMRI 5.10 at home, but have since upgraded my Java.
(3) Will command station and Sprog settings be preserved with a JMRI overwrite upgrade?
