FAQ / I'm new to FPV, how do I upgrade/flash my working quad?

### Answer: DON'T

- There is no real need to upgrade your working quad unless there is specifically something that will get fixed by doing so. These are not like computers that always need to be up-to-date.
- Flashing will erase everything.
- Make a backup of your settings.
- Via `Presets` tab > `Save Backup`, or
- Via CLI tab `diff all` and `dump all`, then `Save to file`.

### But I insist, how do I flash?

- Once you have a backup, flash from the `Update Firmware` button on the top-right of the Configurator.
- It will erase your current configuration.
- You will need to copy/paste all (or preferably, only some) of your backup from the saved text file into the CLI tab of Configurator.
