Trying to Understand Upgrades

[Al Slitter]

Hurray, everything is working and well with 9.10

As mentioned by Mr. Pirate I reinstalled the original 9.3 USB stick and rebooted my server.
It took a while but it came back with everything running.
I went to the Save Config button and tried it and it asked for the path and I saved the file to my downloads folder.
I reinstalled the new 9.10 USB stick and rebooted the server found the IP address for it then went into the
Update Config file and set the path to where I saved it to and said OK.
The server rebooted and after some time it came back up to the original IP address I used, I checked out the
users, groups, shares, files etc. and all is in order.
The strange thing is why the Config File was not saved, it must have been an error or omission on my part.
Once one has gone through this it is all so simple and clear.

With this said I want to thank every one who assisted me, however I want to say a Very Special Thanks to Mr. Pirate
for hanging in with me to get this done. It is very much appreciated, thank you again!
