Inside the new Tor folder, click to run Start Tor Browser.exe.Once you've moved the old Tor to a new location, download and uncompress the new Tor folder, and place it on your desktop.
You may want to keep the old Tor around in case the new Tor doesn't work correctly on your computer (more on this later). Do not permanently erase the old folder just yet, until you've confirmed that the new Tor works.
Navigate to the location containing your old Tor folder, and move the entire folder containing your old Tor into a temporary location, such as your recycle bin. On Windows 7, if you're upgrading Tor version 3.6.6 to Tor version 4.0, the old Tor's places.sqlite file will be in: Tor Browser\Data\Browser\faultIf you're upgrading Tor version 2.3.x (and earlier) to Tor version 3.5.x, the old Tor's places.sqlite will be in Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\Data\profileInside this folder, identify the file named places.sqlite and place it on your desktop by copying the file and pasting it onto your desktop.

You can use Tor to browse the web anonymously, maintaining your privacy and keeping your online activity hidden from despotic governments and intrusive corporations. So now that you can use Tor to bypass paywalls on websites that have metered content (though I encourage you to pay your fair share to media organizations like the LA Times that are doing a great deal of social good), we will discuss how, on Windows, you can retain, save, or migrate your bookmarks, when upgrading Tor on Windows. However, below are the instructions in case you wanted to import bookmarks the way you did before. Afterwards, all my bookmarks were automatically imported.
