Upgrading to 24.10
Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and configuration will be preserved in most cases. For for upgrades inside the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series for example from a OpenWrt 24.10 release candidate Attended Sysupgrade is supported in addition which allows preserving the installed packages too.
Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.
There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed
User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

After upgrading, the config file /etc/config/system should not be restored from a backup, as this will overwrite the new compat_version value.
