+### From from R3.0rc1

+If you are using Qubes R3.0rc1, just install system updates, there is no special steps required.
+
+### From R2.0 or earlier
+
+The easiest and safest way to upgrade to Qubes R3.0 is to install it from scratch and use [qubes backup and restore tools](/doc/BackupRestore/) for migrating of all of the user VMs.
+
+Users of Qubes R2 can upgrade using [experimental procedure](/doc/UpgradeToR3.0/).
