# X-Ray Simulator Upgrade Guide

> This guide explains how to update your X-ray Simulator to the latest version. The process is simple, but please read the notes below carefully - especially if your computer is managed by your institution's IT department.

### If Your Institution Uses Central or Silent Deployment

If your IT department normally installs or updates software automatically (for example, through a silent install, software center, or central distribution system), please do not attempt a manual upgrade.

Instead:

* Notify your IT department that a new version is available.
* Share the download link and ask them to deploy it when convenient.

<Note>
  Tip for IT Administrators The installer supports standard Windows silent install parameters. For details or deployment documentation, see [MDM Installation](/Tech/v1.9.0/mdm-deployment-instructions)
</Note>

### Manual upgrade steps

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2: Run the Installer">
    1. Double-click the downloaded .exe file to start the installation.

      Administrator Rights Required: You may need administrator privileges to install or update the software. If you do not have admin rights, please contact your IT department for assistance.
