Upgrade overview: Versions prior to v7.x
An upgrade from an older product version typically requires two or three steps (after you backup your files): (1) move to an interim version so that you can get your system to v7.7 or later, and (2) then move to the latest 8.x version. In this case, you may need an installer for an older version to accomplish the interim upgrade. Backups at each step are essential.
