Upgrading Engine

I'm sure this has been asked before but I did a search in the knowledge base and couldn't find a thing. How do I go from one version of CO to another and change the engine from an old one to a new one. So far, I can change it for one image at a time but I want to do a whole session in the capture folder all at once.

Please help.

  There is no obvious way to do it, as far as I know. But I would actually advise against it. If you have previously adjusted an image to your satisfaction using an older engine, then upgrading it to the newest engine could spoil it. For example, the highlight recovery tool, just to take one example, works rather differently (rather less effect on midtones) using the Version 10 engine from the way it worked under some of the older versions. If I think I might want to rework an old image with the newest engine, I always create a cloned variant and upgrade that so that I can go back to the previous state if I want to. Even if you could re-create the look you had before you might have to do a fair bit of work to get there. Better, I'd say, to only upgrade images where you are fairly sure you could do better now with the newest features. (For example some of the older versions could not adjust white balance as a local adjustment, which is one of my favourite innovations of the last few years.)
