Is everyone using the latest version, or is it buggy? I assume I need to save my settings somehow and transfer to the new computer? Is this easier said than done? Thanks in advance.
This new laptop will pretty much be exclusively used for quad and 3D printing.

I select my FC (LUXF4OSD) without issue. New version is loaded from online. But, when I try to flash I get, "Failed to open serial port" message.
What did I miss?
All drivers have been installed.

Also, I have noticed that there can sometimes be resource conflicts that will not allow BF to see the aircraft when it is plugged in. Luckily, I have a few laptops I can use. SoCal Kaity :D

Use the boot button on your FC. Hold it down when you plug in USB. You see DFU upper right corner. Or you can use CLI and type BL or DFU depending on your current firmware on your FC. Or if you have I believe is 3.3 or later, you can turn on expert mode and there is a toggle on the setup tab to put it into bootloader mode.
Then flash while in DFU. • Posts: 863 Threads: 43 Likes Received: 286 in 202 posts Likes Given: 12 Joined: Nov 2018 Reputation: 5 13-Apr-2019, 07:38 PM (This post was last modified: 13-Apr-2019, 07:39 PM by Deal-E-O.) Tried the expert mode route and no dice. When I try and holding the boot button and plugging in the USB, not only do I not get a DFU, it won't connect at all. I have to close Betaflight and re-open to get it to even connect. But, no DFU....

I don't need a battery for this, do I? I didn't think so....

I was able to update, and I'm pretty sure I restored my saved settings. Thanks for the guidance once again. You'll know if something didn't work, hehe.

What about the CLI file that I saved? What do I do with that? Looks like my OSD settings are reset, but everything else seems good. Do I need to mess with the CLI file I saved? If so, how do I restore it? Do my questions even make sense, hehe?

Paste them into the CLI. You do not have to paste them one at a time, just CTRL-V the all of them at once. Finish off with a SAVE command and the FC should reboot. At this point, your OSD customization should be there again.
I have a customized DIFF that includes OSD info, as well as radio and ports stuff. I just CTRL-C the whole file and CTRL-V it into the command line. It makes upgrading a snap! SoCal Kaity :D
