If your current web protection software is running on hardware or software that is no longer supported, the upgrade process also includes an operating system migration.
Depending on your current operating system and hardware, it may be possible to update the operating system in place (on the existing machine). Always back up your web protection software before performing an operating system update.
Whether you update the operating system in place or move to another machine, make sure that the machine meets the hardware requirements for your target version: v8.5.x.
To prepare for the migration process, continue with Order of migration and upgrade steps.
