## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage
* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 4.2 or later to 4.15.1.
* If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual upgrade](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).
