OpenPLi distinguishes between minor releases and major releases. A minor release is when you upgrade from version 7.1 to 7.2 and a major release is when you upgrade from version 6.X to version 7.X. When you want to upgrade, minor and major releases must be approached differently:
Minor releases (so like 6.0 => 6.2) are updates, so updating will suffice! So Main menu > Setup > Software update
Major releases (so like 6 => 7) you must flash, preferably using the menu and choosing the backup option, then everything is restored after the flash. When there is no Hard disk present use an USB stick.
