R7800 firmware question

You should be able to install the latest without issues. 2 things I would recommend though.
1. make a backup. If you do run into issues, you can always downgrade and restore the backup.
2. you might need to do a factory reset after the update. Sometimes settings do change enough a reset helps. If thats the case, don't install using the backup as if it changed enough, the backup might still have the old settings that caused issues. If you still run into issues, then you can downgrade.
