1. Upgrade with Playbook
- Download assets
Grab the newest Atlas Playbook and AME Wizard from the AtlasOS website (or the same links used in the installation guide). - Launch AME Wizard
RunAME Wizard Beta.exe(update the wizard first if it offers an update). - Drag the playbook in
Drop the downloaded.apbxfile into the AME Wizard window. - Choose "Upgrade"
When prompted, select Upgrade rather than Run again.
AME Wizard will analyze the current installation and apply only the changes required for the new version. - Let the wizard finish
Follow on-screen instructions and wait until the process completes. Your PC will reboot.
What happens to my settings?
- All user files, apps and most AtlasOS tweaks will be kept.
- Known limitation: Upgrading from 0.4.x → 0.5.x currently does not carry over the Atlas Folder configuration (General Configuration, Interface Tweaks, etc.). You'll need to re-apply these after the upgrade. This will not be a problem when upgrading to 0.5.x → later.
Troubleshooting & older versions
- If AME Wizard doesn't offer the Upgrade option, double-check that you're on Atlas 0.4.x or newer by using the Checking Atlas Version guide.
- Systems on 0.3.x can't be upgraded in-place—follow the Installation guide for a clean reinstall.
