i have tried to update 2 systems running on fairly old hardware, one centos 7.9 homeserver to alma 8 and the other alma 8.10 (initially being prepared unsuccessfully to replace the centos) to alma 9
both appeared to work correctly all the way through, but on reboot still show the original os version, as far as i can tell the grub has not been updated in either
is this a fixable issue, can the grub be updated manually, or some other option
can either of these be repaired or do they need to be fresh installed
the centos system is still running withot issues at this stage but needs to be updated to a supported os
