How to get Qubes 4.3.1



If you’d like to install Qubes for the first time or perform a clean reinstallation on an existing system, there’s never been a better time to do so! Simply download (https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/) the Qubes 4.3.1 ISO and follow our installation guide (https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/r4.3/user/downloading-installing-upgrading/installation-guide.html).


If you’re currently using Qubes 4.2, make sure to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 (https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/r4.2/user/downloading-installing-upgrading/upgrade/4_3.html) no later than 2026-06-21, which is when 4.2 will reach EOL (https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2026/04/27/qubes-os-4-2-approaching-end-of-life/).


If you’re currently on Qubes 4.3 (4.3.0 or 4.3.1-rc1), update normally (https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/r4.3/user/how-to-guides/how-to-update.html) (which includes upgrading any EOL templates and standalones (https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/r4.3/user/how-to-guides/how-to-update.html#upgrading-to-avoid-eol) you might have) in order to make your system essentially equivalent to the stable Qubes 4.3.1 release. No reinstallation or other special action is required.



In all cases, we strongly recommend making a full backup (https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/how-to-guides/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate.html) beforehand.
