We're using Umbraco 7. We'd like to upgrade to the latest version (8.9 I believe). What's involved? Is it guaranteed to work seamlessly? Will we lose any data in our database? Will any data be corrupted?
It's probably also a good idea to investigate what 3rd party packages you're potentially using and research whether these work with or exist for Umbraco 8.9 as well + Any custom developed property editors too.
Before doing anything it's always a good idea to create backup of all the files and the database too in case something goes horribly wrong in the process.
Upgrading to latest version. What's involved?
Hello,
We're using Umbraco 7. We'd like to upgrade to the latest version (8.9 I believe). What's involved? Is it guaranteed to work seamlessly? Will we lose any data in our database? Will any data be corrupted?
Thanks.
Hi Gibran
There is no direct upgrade path from Umbraco 7 to Umbraco 8. You need to migrate instead - You can find some more information about this in the docs here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/version-specific#version-7-to-version-8
