For version 9 and up I often use the package script writer : https://psw.codeshare.co.uk/
This allows you to select a version, select packages you want to install and set some configuration options (db type, username &pwd)
The site will create script that you can use the setup your site.
Also, Umbraco 7 and 8 are Windows-only because the run on the .NET (full) Framework. Umbraco 9+ also works on Mac and Linux and I believe that from version 10 it's also officially supported by Umbraco support.
But besides that, if you have the correct .NET CLI installed, it's just a few simple commands to start a blank Umbraco site. See the documentation Dave linked to.
(ConfigurationStatus” value= your current version that you update )
Then run the wizard,
After few hours (depending on your database size) you should get your tree in Umbraco 8
Do the same process to 9, 10, 11
Once you migrated to 11 you’ll have to update your code base - since u11 uses .net 7 your code from u7 will not work and you’ll have to update your code base.
Also you might need to update or recreate your document types, so take screenshots of your current and create backup
Thank you all, Dave who mentioned what I asked for, Luuk added the requirements for env and Meni offered the upgrade process.
I went through the installation of V7, V8 and V9 and I noticed the V9 is fast during setup even if that takes a lot to setup the DB and dropping DB providers has an impact but finally Umbraco CMS working.
Easy way to Install Umbraco version
Welcome Umbracians,
Is there an easy way to install an Umbraco version under
Windows 10from 7 up to 11.I'm running Linux but the question doesn't restrict the platform
Window,OSXorLinux.Hi WPPlumber.
From version 9 and up (.NET core versions) you can use the dotnet cli tool to setup a project.
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/install
For older versions (7&8) this will require some manual steps. Which is documented as well : https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Fundamentals/Setup/Install/
For version 9 and up I often use the package script writer : https://psw.codeshare.co.uk/ This allows you to select a version, select packages you want to install and set some configuration options (db type, username &pwd)
The site will create script that you can use the setup your site.

You’ll have to install and setup sql server on your machine. You can look here how to do it:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43355971/create-local-sql-server-database
After you install sql server, download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2018 (download the free version, it’s enough)
Then backup your v7 database
Then install a fresh new umbraco 8.1 (or 8.5.5, but not higher) locally on your machine and chose a fresh install without starter kit. Choose sql CE
Once you have the local U8.1 up and running, take a copy of your backup database and connect to it using the SQL Server Management Studio
Once you connect edit the web.config in your local U8.1 / U8.5.5 and connect to local db by edit the connection string
You also need to change more things in web.config as explained here: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Fundamentals/Setup/upgrading/migrating-to-v8
