Hi!
I have proxmox 7.4, try upgrade it to version 8.
pve7to8 show me this:

1759906545727.png

But my version is correct:
1759906417462.png

What's wrong?

Please share all the command outputs (in code blocks). pve7to8 is not meant to upgrade. Use the GUI or pveupdate && pveupgrade for that.

Hi tayra,

Have you managed to solve it yet? (then mark the thread as solved)

The problem is your PVE version. You currently have version 7.1, but you need to update to version 7.4 before upgrade to version 8. You should install updates either from the WebGUI or in the shell using apt update && apt upgrade

If you have problem with updating please provide output of the apt update && apt upgrade command.

Upgrading to 7.4 is a prerequisite. Please read this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8
