This will register a new Agent in your team.
Note
Don't forget to stop your old Agent (e.g. if you are using task scheduler) after you have moved everything to the new version.
(Re-)Configure the Agent
After installing the Agent, you can (re-)configure the Agent for specific setups instead of rerunning the complete installation for small changes. The workflow can be found here in order to rename the agent or set limit for concurrent executions.
