 ## Run Redis Community Edition (CE) on Windows using Docker
 
 To install Redis CE on Windows, you will need to have Docker installed. When Docker is up and running, open Windows PowerShell and follow the instructions described in [Run Redis CE on Docker]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/docker" >}}). Then, use Docker to connect with `redis-cli` as explained in that topic.

-{{% alert title="About using WSL and Ubuntu for Windows " color="warning" %}}
-If you attempt to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Ubuntu for Windows to follow [Linux instructions]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/apt" >}}), you will get a `systemd` error telling you `System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.` Do not fret. Just use Docker. 
-
-_`systemd` is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system._ For more information about its function, see [System and Service Manager](https://systemd.io/). This becomes an issue due to the lack of support for Linux workflows on WSL. But, you can test the instructions listed in [Systemd support is now available in WSL!](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/). Let us know how that worked for you.

+It's essential to practice upgrading Redis in a controlled environment before upgrading it in a production environment.
+Docker is an excellent tool to use for this purpose.
+{{< /note >}}
+
+Follow these instructions to upgrade a Redis cluster. This guide assumes you have installed Redis using one of the supported methods listed [here]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/archive" >}}).
+
+### Save your current data
+
+Before upgrading, create a snapshot of your current dataset on each node (identified by its port) using the following command:
+
+```bash
+redis-cli -p <port> SAVE
+```
+
+Repeat for every node in your cluster, both masters and replicas.
+
+This creates or updates an `RDB` file, for example `dump.rdb`, in the node's Redis data directory. If you use AOF persistence, the files will be named `appendonly.aof.*` and they will be written in the `appendonlydir` directory inside the data directory. The AOF-related directory and file names are the defaults. Use the names defined in your `redis.conf` file if different from the defaults.
+
+Use the following command on each node to identify where your data directories are located:
+
+```bash
+redis-cli -p <port> CONFIG GET dir
+```
+
+Make a copy of the files contained in each of those directories before proceeding.
+
+### Upgrade Redis nodes
+
+Upgrade each node one at a time, starting with the replicas, using these steps:
+
+1. Stop the current version of Redis CE or Redis Stack server.
+1. Follow the installation steps that correspond to your [Redis distribution]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack" >}}) to install Redis 8.
+1. Start Redis 8 if it didn't start automatically.
+
+### Restore from saved files (if necessary)
+
+If necessary, restore the saved files to their original locations on each node. Then restart Redis on each node.
+
+### Verify the upgrade
+
+```bash
+redis-cli -p <port> INFO server | grep redis_version
+redis-cli -p <port> cluster info
+redis-cli --cluster check <IP address>:<port>
+```
+
+You should also verify that your data is accessible and that your clients can connect successfully.

+
+Follow these instructions to upgrade a single-node Redis server. This guide assumes you have installed Redis using one of the supported methods listed [here]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/archive" >}}).
+
+### Save your current data
+
+Before upgrading, create a snapshot of your current dataset using the following command:
+
+```bash
+redis-cli SAVE
+```
+
+This creates or updates an `RDB` file, for example `dump.rdb`, in your Redis data directory.

The AOF-related directory and file names are the defaults. Use the names defined in your `redis.conf` file if different from the defaults.
+
+Use the following command to identify where your data directory is located:
+
+```bash
+redis-cli CONFIG GET dir
+```
+
+Make a copy of these files before proceeding:
+
+```bash
+cp -r /path/to/redis-data-dir/ /path/to/backup/
+```
+
+### Upgrade Redis
+
+Follow these steps to upgrade Redis.
+
+1. Stop the current version of Redis CE or Redis Stack server.
+1. Follow the installation steps that correspond to your [Redis distribution]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack" >}}) to install Redis 8.
+1. Start Redis 8 if it didn't start automatically.
+
+### Restore from saved files (if necessary)
+
+If Redis fails to start properly or if data is missing after the upgrade, restore from your backup.
+
+1. Stop the Redis server.
+2. Copy the backup file back into the the Redis data directory:
+   ```bash
+   cp -r /path/to/backup/ /path/to/redis-data-dir/
+   ```
+3. Start Redis again and verify data is restored:
+   ```bash
+   redis-cli INFO persistence
+   ```
+
+### Verify the upgrade
+
+Use the following command to confirm you're running Redis 8:
+
+```bash
+redis-cli INFO server | grep redis_version
+```
+
+You should also verify that your data is accessible and that your clients can connect successfully.
