You can upgrade AppSpeed Server without deleting the existing installation. After you upgrade AppSpeed,
increase the size of the virtual hard disk. When AppSpeed detects that the hard disk is reaching full volume,
it shuts down.
Upgrading AppSpeed comprises the following tasks:
1 Downloading the ISO file for the upgrade.
2 Creating a new virtual hard disk.
3 Formatting the new disk.
4 Copying the data from the original virtual hard disk to the new disk.
5 Removing the original virtual hard disk from the AppSpeed virtual machine and deleting the files.
