Known issues
------------
- `Fedora 23 reached EOL in December 2016 <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life>`__. There is a
`manual procedure to upgrade your VMs <https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/06/fedora-26-upgrade/>`__.
- Windows Tools: ``qvm-block`` does not work
- Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn
correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers
you, please use the KDE environment instead.
- For other known issues take a look at `our tickets <https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22Release+3.2%22+label%3Abug>`__
It is advised to install updates just after system installation to apply
bug fixes for (some of) the above problems.
Downloads
---------
See :doc:`Qubes Downloads </user/downloading-installing-upgrading/downloads>`.
Installation instructions
-------------------------
See :doc:`Installation Guide </user/downloading-installing-upgrading/installation-guide>`. After
installation, `manually upgrade to Fedora 26 <https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/06/fedora-26-upgrade/>`__.
Upgrading
---------
From R3.1
^^^^^^^^^
The easiest and safest way to upgrade to Qubes R3.2 is to install it
from scratch and use :doc:`qubes backup and restore tools </user/how-to-guides/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate>` for migrating of all of the user VMs.
Users of Qubes R3.1 can also upgrade using :doc:`this procedure </user/downloading-installing-upgrading/upgrade/3_2>`.
From R3.0 or earlier
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When upgrading from earlier versions the easiest and safest way is to
install it from scratch and use :doc:`qubes backup and restore tools </user/how-to-guides/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate>` for migrating of all of the user VMs.
Alternatively you can :ref:`upgrade to R3.1 using <developer/releases/3_1/release-notes:upgrading>` first, then follow
the instructions above. This will be time consuming process.
