I installed a while back w 8.2 as my server and now see you recommend 8.3

I thought I could just install 8.3 and it would upgrade everything, but now it seems I have both of them running at the same time with HEM still relying on 8.2

2 questions:

Is there any reason to upgrade to 8.3 from 8.2? I thought I was noticing some slowdown but it may have been in my head.

What do I need to do to make the change now? I was thinking I could back up the database, uninstall 8.2, and then restore it back in 8.3 but i'm not sure how likely I am to screw something up majorly or if this would even work?

I guess if there is no reason to use 8.3 I can just uninstall it and go back to 8.2

8.2 is fine, you can update if you like, id recommend exporting your hands first in case something goes wrong http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=173

To install 8.3 first uninstall 8.2 via the control panel, then install 8.3 http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=176

go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services and find postgreSQL 8.3 and click stop, the go to C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/Data and copy the contents of that folder and paste it into C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/Data

Finally go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services and find postgreSQL 8.3 and click start and then it should be all good
