 == Overview ==
+This article assists '''existing users''' upgrading ODBClink to the latest version.
+If you are a '''new user''' and wish to install ODBClink, see [[Installing ODBClink]] instead.
 To ease the pain of upgrades, ODBClink's upgrade process will seamlessly transfer any settings from your old installation and transfer it to the new one. If you have custom solutions or reports, they will be copied across during the upgrade process. Note that you may also need to configure ODBClink for any new features.
-We recommend upgrading ODBClink at least once a year. To do so, follow the instructions below.
+To upgrade to the latest version follow the steps below.
