Which MySQL Version to Install? Win 11

Posted on Author tiniownzyou



Hello,

Am currently running MySQL 5.7.44 on Windows 10 (for years with no issues).  Am starting to prep a replacement Windows 11 box and am not sure which new MySQL version to install.

Here https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ I can see 8.0.37 and 8.4.0.  Or still advise to use the version I have now – even though it is EOL?

I also take it, exporting my databses from old mysql to new should be straight forward (simple export and import) or am I assuming too much and need to tweak them?

I would be aiming to setup the new MySQL instance the same as the previous. (user accounts/permissions etc).

This was the original ytube tutorial I followed all those year ago if anyone is interested Smile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWRrkPvZkRM

Thanks and cheers in advance.

EDIT:  The new Win 11 box will be replacing the Win 10 box, with same IPs etc, so theoretically I do not need (or want) to change anything in the kodi advanced settings.
