Good day everyone.
A quick question please.
I recently resumed running my Bitcoin node after a few weeks. I've been experiencing one major issue, which is poor connection, or should I say: poor service from my ISP.

I just saw on the landing page of the forum that a new version of Bitcoin Core has been released (v29.0).
Is there any way I can update to the latest version without affecting my current progress?.

I believe I'm currently using v27.0

It's safe to upgrade your Bitcoin Core node from version 27 to version 29.0 without erasing your existing blockchain progress. Run bitcoin-cli stop from the command line to first gracefully shut down your node :

next, download operating system version 29.0. Installing it over your current version won't affect your wallet or blockchain data make a backup of your wallet (wallet.dat or by selecting "File > Backup Wallet") as a precaution when you start Bitcoin Core v29.0 after installation, it will continue where you left off, updating databases if needed the blockchain doesn't need to be resynchronized
I did the same thing when I switched to v28
