Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for updating an operating system (OS) on a computing system. In some embodiments, a computer system receives an 5 instruction to update a first operating system (OS) of the computer system to a second OS. The computer system loads the second OS into a volatile memory of the computer system and initiates a backup of the non-volatile memory of the computer system while the second OS is loaded into the volatile memory. In response to a completion of the backup, the computer system moves the second OS 10 from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory of the computer system. The computer system then boots the second OS from the non-volatile memory. This provides data integrity, minimizes risk of data loss, and reduces disruptions during the OS update process.
