Ok so multiple things here, database username and password are different than the OS uername and password. 

Did you modify any permissions on the data folder?

I think I have said it 2 times I have changed permissions to allow ALL!

Where are you located? Would it be possible to have a screen share tomorrow and I will at least solve your connection problem. I have not worked on 7.4 so I will not be able to find a soltuion to migrate without actually getting to know the file format in which you have the old database.

YOu memtioned  

"But, I am getting denial of access using my postgres user password."

Yes. But that’s not an error. It doesn’t give me error. That password is not recognised. It is the same password I use for that username in psql. So, by right, I should gain access right? I mean I have stated in my email that I have granted all access at the control in Windows 10. 

I havent read the article and not sure about 7.6 but I am sure its not going to be a straight forward update. 

If you still have the 7.4 server, try doing to pg_dump in plain SQL and then feed that SQL to 10. 

I don’t think I have 7.4 server.

PgAdmin 4 indicates my server is 10.

Greetings,

I was wrestling with my database migration till I found out that I actually had a 7.6 PSQL version instead of 10 which I had downloaded this year.

Now, I have problem in upgrading PSQL to 10 even though I had done all the ncessary steps like setting the permission to All in Windows 10.

Now, I tried to follow this article : https://www.arencambre.com/blog/2014/12/24/postgress-pg_upgrade-on-windows-the-documentation-misses-a-lot/ But, I am getting denial of access using my postgres user password.

And it seems that it is easier to operate psql using linux.  But, I am new to Linux, just like PostgreSQL.

So, I hope someone can really come and help me out in terms of upgrading my PSQL and then secondly share with me article how to use Linux from installation as a dual boot drive in my laptop and using Linux with Postgresql.

Thanks

Karen
