is there a way on all clients to check the actually installed ring version?
and the version that is recommend for this device as well?

know that fdroid supports such a feature for their "installed apps" view.

on GNOME it's easy to find the version number in "about" section

all the best!

one friend told me, that she installed ring on windows 7,
then updated windows to 10. and told me that the first option

* Windows (Win32), macOS: Ring has an embedded updater, can be forced by using
menu -> check for update 

ist not existing.

since she installed ring for windows 7 before, there is no update option you
mentioned in option 2

* Windows (UWP): Ring updated through the Windows Store

Any idea how she could manage to geht the latest version of Ring without losing 
her account & contacts/conversations

all the best!

Why does your Download page https://ring.cx/en/download/windows
show Windows 10 under two different sections?

https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/store/p/gnu-ring/9nblggh43d70?rtc=1
It still shows release date: 09.11.2016 
Are those updates run automatically? Or do i have to start them manually using
Windows Store?

What about F-Droid here?

Hej there! 

On Linux/GNOME it easy to update Ring automatically using my repositories. 

But my friends on Windows (7,10) & Mac/iOS don't now how to do that. They are 
concerned that they have to to reinstall everything and then will lose their 
contacts/settings as well. As i am not using these platforms: What advice 
should 
i give? Is there something in Ring manuals? 

Thanks for your time & help!
