I would like to update to the latest version of Bisq from my current version 0.5.3 on Windows 7 64bit I would like to know how I should do this and keep my trade history and added currency accounts and anything else I might need? Should I install the new version 0.60 on top of my current version? Or is there files or folders that I can copy and then transfer into the new install? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ---

Yes you can install the new version and all stays intact. Only at 0.5 we had a non-backward compatible update (first). Usually all updates are backward compatible. Make a backup just in case before updating. ---
