Title: Upgrading to Core 0.14.2
Post by: pepeltoro on July 17, 2017, 11:39:30 PM
Hello! To update Bitcoin Core 0.14 to the latest 0.14.2 do I need to download the full block chain again and also migrate my BTC to the new wallet? Note that I'm pruning the blocks.
Thank you!

No. There is no need to touch your wallet files or the blockchain data. All you need to do is download and install Bitcoin Core 0.14.2. The install will overwrite the previous install but it will not touch anything in the datadir (folder containing the wallet and blockchain stuff).
