hi at all,
when checking inside VB there is no update available, but there is clearly version 7.0.4 released. Can I simply install it and upgrade from 6.1.40? I do not want to lose my Virtual Machines because of incompatibilities.
best wishes.
update from 6.1.40?

Re: update from 6.1.40?
7.0 is still buggy and needs fixing. It'll settle down to good running in some versions from now. I wouldn't upgrade if you really need your VMs to stay running. Production hosts should abide by the "If it ain't broke" paradigm. Experimentation with 7.0 is of course OK on copies of the VMs on a different host (or on a cloned physical host drive on the same host).

thanks for letting me know, will stay on 6.1 for now. I was just irritated because of the huge changelog. unfortunately there is no "known issues" category as AMD has in their driver releases.
