My current release is 0.14.2 on Windows
It is some time since I synced it.
I am creating a new directory for new version and also for data.
Now I have two options.
- Sync the current version
- Copy program and data to new location
- install new version on the new location
OR
- copy the current version and data to the new locations
- Install new version on new location
- Perform sync
What would be the best choice or does it not matter?
there isn't a better one!
just remember to safely backup you wallet.dat.
if you want you can install from scratch and use the bootstrap.dat file from bitcoin.org...
here all the data needed:
