To update FL Studio without losing any data, head to the Downloads page on FL Studio’s website and download the FL Studio Installer for your device. Next, run the installer and when you reach the ‘Choose Components’ step, uncheck the “Settings” box. Lastly, finish the installation and launch FL Studio.
