    Upgrading from version 7.1.8

    Hello!

    We have an Umbraco site that is of version 7.1.8. We are about to make some bigger changes in the content, and I think it is about time to upgrade the version.

    What would be the best way to upgrade as the current version is so old? Is there any use of first upgrading to the last 7.15.6 version and then migrating to 8? Or is it even possible to migrate such an old version to 8?

    We have some macros and partial views but not so many.

    Would I be better off starting a new Umbraco project of version 8 and copy/edit the stuff from the old version? Or does Umbraco do some automatic necessary fixes to the templates, macros and such during the update/migration? Or do they differ much anyway?

    Where could I find some good examples/tutorials on updating/migrating?

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to read these upgrade instructions for some versions https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/version-specific There they also recommend to have atleast Umbraco 7.14.0 before going to v8.

    So yes, you can upgrade to v8 but you first have to get to 7.14.0.

    Hi Joep, thank you for the answer.

    I will do the upgrade to 7.14.0 first.
