It assumes you have OpenBSD 7.3 installed and working networking. It can also be used to repair OpenBSD 7.4.%0a%0a%25info%25This guide was written for upgrading openbsd 7.3 to 7.4, but the same idea can be used for upgrading the versions thereafter. Upgrades must be done one version at a time, so upgrading from 7.2 to 7.4 would require upgrading first to 7.3, then to 7.4.%0a%0a%25note%25'''NOTE''': This guide is '''no''' substitute for reading the [[https://www.openbsd.org/faq/|OpenBSD FAQ]]. In particular, you should read the [[https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade74.html|7.4 Upgrade Guide]].%0a%0a%25alert%25'''ALSO SEE''': [[Openbsd/Sysupgrade74|Sysupgrade]] is an easier, mostly unattended upgrade process. %0a%0aCheck to see if you need to upgrade your OS. To find out your operating system version, type: @@uname -a@@. If it says @@OpenBSD example.com 7.3 GENERIC#1336 amd64@@, you can upgrade to 7.4 using this guide. If it says @@OpenBSD example.com 7.4 GENERIC#1336 amd64@@, you can follow this guide to repair your OS.%0a%0a# Make sure to back up any files.

If you are using [[Vmctl/Usage|VMM]], you can view it using the [[Openbsd/cu|serial console]]. If you are using [[Openbsd/Buyvm|BuyVM]], you should use VNC.
