# Update Control Center

> How to get the latest version on each platform.

| Platform | How to update |
| - | - |
| Mac / Windows | Download the new installer. Install over the old app. |
| StartOS | Update it from **Marketplace**. StartOS shows when the Community Registry has a new version. |
| Umbrel | Coming soon. Email [support@hoseki.app](mailto:support@hoseki.app) for help. See [Install on Umbrel](https://help.hoseki.app/bitcoin-control-center/getting-started/install-umbrel.md). |

In-place updates keep your data. [Back up](https://help.hoseki.app/bitcoin-control-center/maintenance/backup-restore.md) first anyway.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Sideloaded Control Center on StartOS before it was in the registry? Install it from the [Community Registry](https://help.hoseki.app/bitcoin-control-center/getting-started/install-startos.md) to get updates in **Marketplace**.

## Updating from an older version

### Updating to 1.4.0

There's nothing to do. Your PIN, accounts, settings, and statements carry over.

* If you have accounts, finished the introduction, or connected a server, you won't see the new Electrum server step. To change servers, see [Change it later](https://help.hoseki.app/bitcoin-control-center/getting-started/first-run.md#change-it-later).
* On Blockstream's public server, you may see a new strip that says **Want more privacy?** Connect your node, or close it.
* If an earlier import saved a private key, updating replaces it with the matching public key.

### Updating to 1.1.0

Updating to 1.1.0 from 1.0 or earlier adds a PIN. You must set one before you can use the app.

* On StartOS, a critical task says **Set a PIN before using Bitcoin Control Center**. Run **Set PIN**.
* On Mac and Windows, the app shows **Set up your PIN** the first time you open it.

Accounts, settings, and statements carry over. See [PIN and lock](https://help.hoseki.app/bitcoin-control-center/security/pin.md).

## Desktop update notice

The desktop app checks for a new version at launch and about once a day. When one exists, a notice appears at the bottom of the window.

![Desktop new-version notice](https://mintcdn.com/hoseki-corp/XCQqCRepRDP5H4K0/images/updates-desktop-notice.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XCQqCRepRDP5H4K0\&q=85\&s=6fb042a5d9dc64db3cdd9283ff8060ac)

The update notice.

* **Download** opens [bitcoincontrolcenter.com](https://www.bitcoincontrolcenter.com) in your browser.
* **×** hides it until you restart the app or a newer version comes out.

The app does not update itself.

## Update the desktop app

1. Quit fully. Use **Quit** in the tray menu, not just the window's close button.
2. Run the new installer.
3. Open the app. Enter your PIN.

> [!NOTE]
>
> A statement that is generating when the app quits will fail. Generate it again after the update.
