-How to Upgrade
-==============
-
-If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
-shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
-installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
-or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
-
-If your node has a txindex, the txindex db will be migrated the first time you run 0.17.0 or newer, which may take up to a few hours. Your node will not be functional until this migration completes.
-
-The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a
-new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
-depending on the speed of your machine.
-
-Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
-automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
-directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
-However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
-
-Downgrading warning
--------------------
-
-The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
-releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
-older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
-option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
-
-If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
-processing the entire blockchain.
-
-Compatibility
-==============
-
-Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
-the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer (Windows XP is not supported).
-
-Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
-frequently tested on them.
-
-From 0.17.0 onwards macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't
-support versions of macOS older than 10.10.
