Darktable 3.0 Install Issue

Software
1

I just installed Darktable 3.0. I was asked if I wanted to uninstall 2.6 before installing 3.0 and said yes as I was told that would happen in a previous topic.

Now that I have installed 3.0, I had just a black screen come up with a flashing cursor. The screen stayed open for a while then just shut down. Now I get the following message:

Darktable - Schema Migration
The database schema has to be updated for:
C:\User\MSTest\Appdata\Local\darktable/data.db
do you want to proceed or quit now to do a backup

At the bottom of the page there are two large boxes, one says Close Darktable and the other says Upgrade Database.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Yes, darktable 3.0 stores the data in a different format than 2.6. You can just click on ‘upgrade database’.
Before that you can make a backup of the old one if you want.

So I guess I can just click on the box that says upgrade and then I should be all set?
Thank you
