    Hello,
    I have a raspberry pi 3 that I manually upgraded to raspbx 10.10 based on Debian Buster. I just bought a new raspberry pi 4 8GB and I would like to know if it's OK to just remove the SD card from RPI 3 and insert it on RPI4. Will it work or do I need a fresh install?

    First, make a clone of your working card and if you are going to experiment use that.

    Generally it is not recommened to upgrade from Buster PI3 to PI4 however there is info around about this, but not specifically for RASPBX, which I suspect is not possible. Best bet is fresh install.

    According to the raspberry forum. If it's a fresh buster install it should work. As soon as I receive the new RPI4 I will test and let you know
