Hi, I'm currently using Elasticsearch version 7.10. OSS version but when trying to implement security ran into challenges which turns out is because I am not on the basic version of Elasticsearch. Is there a way I can change my type from OSS to basic?

I don't think this is possible.

The best approach would be to make a snapshot of your data, install a new cluster on version 7.17 since version 7.10 is not supported anymore and then restore the snapshot.

Thanks for the advice. On version 7.17 can i add security and authentication? (xpack.security.enabled:true)

Solution: I deleted the OSS version and installed the newest version. Works now
