Hi! Some results from an attempt to inplace-upgrade: Unfortunately I'm getting errors in the post-reboot adjustment of the repositories (debian Trixie and Fedora 42). During boot I also saw "ACPI ID mismatch" errors. There are also "protocol error" messages from qubesd.
If time permits I'll make a better report.

Simply [download](https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/) the Qubes 4.3.0 > ISO and follow our [installation > guide](https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/downloading-installing-upgrading/installation-guide.html). > > - If you're currently using Qubes 4.2, learn [how to upgrade to Qubes > 4.3](https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/downloading-installing-upgrading/upgrade/4_3.html). > > - If you're currently using a Qubes 4.3 release candidate (RC), [update > normally](https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/how-to-guides/how-to-update.html) > (which includes [upgrading any EOL templates and > standalones](https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/how-to-guides/how-to-update.html#upgrading-to-avoid-eol) > you might have) in order to make your system effectively equivalent to the > stable Qubes 4.3.0 release. No reinstallation or other special action is > required. > > In all cases, we strongly recommend [making a full > backup](https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/how-to-guides/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate.html) > beforehand. > > ## Known issues in Qubes OS 4.3.0 > > Templates restored in 4.3.0 from a pre-4.3 backup may continue to target > their original Qubes OS release repos > ([#8701](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8701)). After > restoring such templates in 4.3.0, you must perform the following additional > steps: > > ``` > sudo qubes-dom0-update -y qubes-dist-upgrade > qubes-dist-upgrade --releasever=4.3 --template-standalone-upgrade -y > ``` > > This will automatically choose the templates that need to be updated. > > Fresh templates on a clean 4.3.0 installation are not affected. Users who > perform an in-place upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 (instead of restoring templates > from a backup) are also not affected, since the in-place upgrade process > already includes the above fix in stage 4.
