How to upgrade pgAdmin4

From

Hi thank-you for maintaining this wonderful program!

I have pgAdmin 4 on Windows 10 installed - version 2.1

I would like to keep current versions but had so much trouble connecting to my postgres database, I am apprehensive.

My postgres is on my remote Linux server and goes through SSL with certificate keys.

I am not much good with Linux and it took a long time to get up and running.

So here are my questions:

    1) Are there any specific types of backups I can/should perform before upgrading to pgAdmin 4 version 4.6

    2) Am I correct to assume I just run the downloaded .exe file to upgrade?  What is the .exe.asc file used for?

            here are the files I found on the website:


I appreciate your time!

Sorry but the only thing I can help is about the .asc file. It's used for verify that the .exe you downloaded is the original one, that no one modified it, injected some malware or something like it. 

It's a digital signature used in PGP. You can search more about it online looking for PGP or GPG. For Windows look at Kassandra, it's a program for encryption and digital signature verification that uses PGP.
