The top portion of the Pre-Update Check shows whether your current server environment is compatible with the current target version of Joomla for both the required PHP and database settings. The data on the [https://downloads.joomla.org/technical-requirements Technical Requirements] page show the specs we are checking against.

<!--T:60-->
What's important is to check if anything is red and not compatible with Joomla 4.x. </br>
If the '''Database Table structure''' is not up to date, you can repair it by yourself before you continue the update. 

<!--T:61-->
Select {{rarr|Administrator,System,Maintenance,Database}} </br>There you get information about inconsistencies found in your Joomla CMS database, and you can update the structure.

If other settings are not up to date, you'll need to talk to your host. As you are already on Joomla 4, it is very likely that all settings are ok.

=== Recommended Settings === <!--T:64-->
