# Get Tails 4.26
## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage
* Automatic upgrades are broken from Tails 4.14 and earlier.
Follow our instructions to do an [automatic upgrade from Tails 4.15, Tails
4.16, Tails 4.17, or Tails
4.18](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/error/check/index.en.html#4.18).
* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 4.19 or later to 4.26.
You can [reduce the size of the
download](
https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.
* 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).
