Remember, before you go ahead and upgrade to WordPress 6.1 to back up your WordPress website and your database. Your hosting often does this, and you can ask them if you’re in doubt. If you want to do it yourself, you can use a WordPress plugin like UpdraftPlus. You can read more about how to back up your WordPress website here.
With your backup in order, you’re now ready to start updating your WordPress website. Simply sign into the admin part of your WordPress website, and then click on Updates in the menu to the left. Here you will see a blue button, and when you press it will start to update WordPress, do not refresh the page until it’s done.
