Always remember to make a backup of the files and database before moving on to the next step when you have sucessfully done an upgrade between major versions (Like from 4 to 6 and then 7).
Also make sure to do an analysis of the packages and potential custom API integrations in your solutions that you need to handle in terms of package compatibility and API changes as well.
best upgrade path from 4.7.2 to 7.1.3
We have a site built in 4.7.2, looking for the easiest way to get to the lastest build.
Is there an addon or something that could help automate the process?
I'll be interested in the outcome of your question.. As will be wanting to the same from 6 to 7
Hi Guys
Don't know if you have already seen it but there is a guide for going from 6 to 7 here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/v7-upgrade
Otherwise the version specific document here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/version-specific and the general guidelines here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/general should provide the information that you need.

Hope this helps you guys.
