Hey there,

I just found out my pgAdmin is version 7.6, while the current version is 8.6. Looks like it's time for an upgrade!

https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-windows/

The latest is 8.10.

 

The notification I got had a link to the EDB site with a bunch of PostgreSQL installers listed. Thing is, I don't want to mess up my database.

What does PgAdmin have to do with your database?

(Unless EDB only bundles everything together, in which case you should ask EDB.)

 

So I figured it'd be smart to learn some best practices for upgrading before I dive in.

Any tips or advice on how to do this safely? Thanks in advance!

I'd install 8.10 from https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v8.10/windows/, and expect it to overwrite the old version, just like every other Windows and Linux installer does.
