 ## Auto-Update
 
-Auto-Update is enabled by default and tracks minor version updates, e.g. LibreELEC 9.2.0 will update to 9.2.1, 9.2.2, etc. as they are released. It will not perform major version updates as these involve Kodi add-on updates \(roken add-ons are the source of most update issues\) and user-experience changes that we do not want to force onto users. If auto-update is enabled the latest update file will download in the background, then Kodi will prompt you to reboot and start the update process. If you prefer to manage system updates manually, auto-update can be disabled in the settings add-on.

 In 2016 when we forked from OpenELEC the differences between projects were small and it was simple to migrate by using our update .tar file. Today there are some challenges:
 
-* LibreELEC images for Generic x86\_64 hardware are now 240MB+ in size and most older OpenELEC installs have a 230MB boot partition so LibreELEC files will not fit and the update process will fail \(gracefully\). Raspberry Pi and similar images are smaller and will still fit, but read on:
-* Older Kodi add-ons are frequently incompatible with newer Kodi versions, causing crashes when the system restarts, and the bigger the version jump the more likely add-ons will cause problems. LibreELEC will detect when Kodi repeatedly fails to start and will run with a "safe mode" configuration, but this normally requires SSH console fiddling to get back to a working setup.
-* Kodi does not self-manage media and add-on package caches so over-time filesystem litter accumulates. Starting from a clean install removes all the not-needed junk resulting in a faster/lighter installation with an improved Kodi user experience.

 To migrate essential Kodi data from the old installation before migrating \(which is likely to fail\) or making a clean installation, enable the SSH service in the Settings add-on, then log-in over SSH to stop Kodi and back-up the userdata folder:
