### How to switch templates (3.2)
When you install a new template or upgrade a clone of a template, it is recommended that you switch everything that was set to the old template to the new template:
1. Make the new template the default template:
Qubes Manager --> Global settings --> Default template
2. Base AppVMs on the new template.
In Qubes Manager, for each VM that is currently based on `old-template` that you would like to base on `new-template`, enter its VM settings and change the Template selection:
Qubes Manager --> (Select a VM) --> VM settings --> Template
3. Base the [DispVM](/doc/dispvm/) template on the new template.
If you have set the new template as your default template:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template
Otherwise:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm new-template
