How to upgrade umbraco version 7.4.2 to version 8+
Dear developers, I have a Umbraco project implemented with the version of 7.4.2. Now I want to update the Umbraco version to latest due to performance issues.
My site is multilingual using Vorto.
If I update the latest version what are the things I need to consider?
What are the steps to follow without losing data and files.
That's seems to be solution, but I have not applied any change and cancelled my plan to upgrade because we have no time and budget to re-work a lot to make it compatible with version 8 to get only performance improvement. So I am theoretically marking this answer as Solution.
Many companies do not upgrade sites from v7 to v8 because of a lack of time or budget. Not so many benefits to migrate. Let's wait for Umbraco 9 later this year. It would be a great time to upgrade.
For us, performance is a major issue. In some cases we generated price list, you can say 200 to 300 records. For each item, programmatically or from back office, Save and Publish event took almost second. In this way, our one action take 200 to 300 seconds. In production, Cloud flare timeout our page request. Also this is not fair user experience.
Do not you think this is a genuine issue with Umbraco 7 ? (we are using 7.4.2)

Any best solution to this problem.

Hi Naveed
There is no way to do a direct upgrade from version 7 to version 8.
Vorto doesn't work in v8; in v8, you'll have a built-in multilingual feature - so you probably need to rewrite all language-related stuff on the site.
You can do a content migration. But you probably have to rewrite all your logic.
Here are official docs about migration - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/migrating-to-v8
