I've tried. It's cumbersome. In addition to normal package update, you need to uninstall all templates and install new ones (in-place reinstall is broken), one by one, switching all its usage to some other for the process. In addition to that: 1. Switch sys-net and sys-usb to HVM: qvm-prefs sys-net virt_mode hvm qvm-prefs sys-usb virt_mode hvm 2. Create default DispVM (including menu entries): sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.default-dvm 3. (optional) install Whonix sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix And I still cannot guarantee that's all. But you can try ;) - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
