Upgrade Process - Graphical User Interface

1. Run the GUI installer for MFT Monitor.

2. The installer will detect that a previous version of MFT Monitor is installed and will ask if you want to update that version. Confirm that you want to update.

3. Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, accept it.

4. Specify a backup directory.

5. Choose whether to use the embedded database or an external/custom database.
