This is a brief guide to the steps that you should probably go through when upgrading from one version of RISC OS to the next. It does not include instructions for system-specific issues (such as flash programming a new ROM) but covers the generic steps to get your disc image and at least a softload installed and working.
It assumes some level of prior RISC OS knowledge, notably how to open directories and applications in the Filer, how to move and copy things around the file system, how to extract the contents of zipfiles and so on. You may also need to understand how to edit files (such as Obey files) in order to fix issues that might crop up.
Yes, this is tedious and no, it’s not very user friendly. That’s just how the RISC OS disc image (especially the boot sequence) is at the moment. :( Some steps are being made to improve the situation, notably on the RISC OS Pi release where PackMan is the recommended mechanism for updating your system. It is hoped in future that this will be used more widely across all platforms running RISC OS 5.
