      @honda-z50m said in Rasp Pi 4 8GB will not boot from Retropie SD card:

      How do I update?

      With the same commands as before - using apt.

                  Looks like WinSCP doesn't like how long it takes for the command to complete. Use Putty instead to login and run the upgrade commands and - after the upgrade is finished - reboot by entering sudo reboot.

                        @mitu Finally got it working ok with your help (THANK YOU), full upgrade using Putty worked although my laptop crashed and corrupted the SD card at around 80% of update and had to reflash it and start all over again.

                        But copying the two files across, then updating via putty worked in short.

                        Thanks,
                        Tom
