# Updating WCN Version 2.x to the Current Version

This article provides instructions for customers using any 2.x builds to upgrade to the latest [Wasabi Cloud NAS client](https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/wcn/WasabiCloudNAS.exe) (WasabiCloudNAS.exe).

1. Take a backup of the following location in the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wasabi\tiger-bridge\tiersvc\settings.
2. Right-click and export the file.
3. Save the file locally.
4. Stop the WCN service. To do so, open Command Prompt as an Administrator and run the following command: `Net Stop TierSvc`
5. Uninstall the 2.x client.
6. Download and install the latest [Wasabi Cloud NAS client](https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/wcn/WasabiCloudNAS.exe) (WasabiCloudNAS.exe).
7. Sign in using the credentials from the previous build associated with your WCN+Wasabi account. This automatically creates a default bucket mapped to the control folder (typically located at C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Wasabi Cloud NAS).
8. Ensure that the service is stopped after installing the new client. If it is not, run the following command: `Net Stop TierSvc`
9. Double-click the registry backup taken in Step 1.
