Image download

[RedBaronK™]

I was thinking about upgrading to a 1 TB drive, and figured instead of copying my existing drive over I'll just clean install from a image. I went to the official download page, and saw a download file for 2.5+ GB, but it did not give me a choice of which OS version to download. Is this image automatically the most recent version, or can I choose which version to download? I would like to use 3.4.11 if possible. Thanks!

You don't get to pick.

You can also try the clonezilla route.

Yeah I think yiu are right.. that's the only option for keeping the OS version I like, haven't found any other alternatives.

I figured a "clean" install was better, but that's just my OCD from windows 8 days talking... Clean or cloned I'm sure it's the same.

Since you are buying a new SSD, test the newer stable OS. Test your games and plugging it into the TV. Check whether everything works. If it doesn't, install the old OS.

I will be wary of bios updates.
