+# Installation
+
+## Using the configurator
+This is a generic procedure to flash a board using the configurator. The configurator does not yet support all boards, so please check the documentation corresponding to your board before proceeding.
+
+Make sure you have the [INAV Configurator](https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav-configurator) installed, then:
+
+* Connect the flight controller to the PC.
+* Start the INAV Configurator.
+* Click on "Disconnect" if the configurator connected to the board automatically.
+* Click on the "Firmware Flasher" tab.
+* Make sure you have internet connectivity and click on the "Load Firmware [Online]" button.
+* Click on the "Choose a Firmware / Board" dropdown menu, and select the latest stable version for your flight controller.
+* IMPORTANT: Read and understand the release notes that are displayed.  When upgrading review all release notes since your current firmware.
+* If this is the first time INAV is flashed to the board, tick the "Full Chip Erase" checkbox.
+* Connect the flight controller board to the PC.  Ensure the correct serial port is selected.
+* Click on the "Flash Firmware" button and hold still (do not breathe, too).
+* When the progress bar becomes green and reads "Programming: SUCCESSFUL" you are done!
+
+## Manually
+
+See the board specific flashing instructions.
+
+# Upgrading
+
+When upgrading be sure to backup / dump your existing settings.  Some firmware releases are not backwards compatible and default settings are restored when the FC detects an out of date configuration.
+
+## Backup/Restore process
+
+The INAV Configurator (after version 9.0.x) automatically backs up your configuration before flashing and offers to restore it afterwards (when Full Chip Erase is enabled) — including automatic settings migration when upgrading across major versions.
+
+For details on automatic and manual backup/restore, see [Backup and Restore](Backup%20and%20Restore.md).
+
+For CLI-based backup and restore, see the [CLI documentation](Cli.md#backup-via-cli).
