Hi Tank Kermin, and welcome to the forum!

From your question, I gather that you have downloaded .23 from the website and installed it separately from .22, is this right?

If it is: The folder you need will be located in the KSP_win/saves folder of your .22 version. You should see a folder with the name of your save in there - that's what you need.

COPY that folder (we don't want to move it or do anything that might destroy it - just in case!), and then open up your .23 version folder. Again, go to KSP_win/saves and PASTE your save folder in there.

That should do it. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Happy launching!

Adding to the above, they've recently included a patcher (under the main KSP folder or accessable through the launcher) that will update the game without disturbing your current saves. As long as an update doesn't break saves you can update that way and keep your saves without any added effort. Personally I like to start fresh each time, but it's another option for next time.

Also, you can move individual crafts between saves by looking in the ships folder (under VAB or SPH) finding and moving the craft. That way you can build a ship in one save then launch it in another, or build a ship you like and use it in all your saves.
