        @TheBigWizard Not directly but you can reinstall 2.6 and restore the config from backup.

        At https://www.pfsense.org/download/ leave the Architecture field empty/unchanged and submit the form, and it will show recent old versions.

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.
