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:
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.
Minor releases (so like 6.0 => 6.2) are updates, so updating will suffice! So Main menu > Setup > Software update
