[[upgrade]]
== Upgrading from Previous Releases of FreeBSD
-Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported using the man:freebsd-update[8] utility.
-See the release-specific upgrade procedure, link:../installation/#upgrade-binary[FreeBSD {releaseCurrent} upgrade information], with more details in the FreeBSD handbook link:{handbook}cutting-edge/#freebsdupdate-upgrade[binary upgrade procedure].
-This will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC kernels distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release.
-The man:freebsd-update[8] utility requires that the host being upgraded have Internet connectivity.
-
-Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from source code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in [.filename]#/usr/src/UPDATING#.

Upgrading FreeBSD should only be attempted after backing up _all_ data and configuration files.

[IMPORTANT]
====
For users of PRERELEASE, ALPHA, and BETA builds of FreeBSD 15.0, due to late-breaking changes in FreeBSD.org infrastructure, it is not possible to upgrade directly using the man:pkg-upgrade[8] utility.

+=== Upgrading from Packages
+
Users should either manually copy the required files from a source tree checkout of `15.0-RELEASE` tag, or a later commit in `STABLE` or `CURRENT` branches, or alternatively, force-install the `FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap` package from the official release base system packages.
The recommended, and most secure approach, is using the source tree checkout of any of head, stable/15, or releng/15.0 branches after 2025-11-27 22:00 UTC.
