    Hi Liran,

    When you need to upgrade an Umbraco installation try to see this doucmentation http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/general and for a specific version upgrade see here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/version-specific

    And full upgrade Umbraco 7. http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/v7-upgrade

    Lee Kelleher has made an unofficial archive for Umbraco releases and here he recommend an upgrade path try to see here. http://code.leekelleher.com/umbraco/archive/

    I also find this blogpost about how to upgrade from 4.7 to Umbraco 7. http://www.blix.co/blog/2014/6/5/follow-the-path-upgrading-umbraco-from-v4-to-v7.aspx Remember after each upgrade step, to test if every thing works as you expect.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Liran

    That's a big question :)

    For startet I'll recommend that you read through all of the documentation in these two pages http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/ before doing anything. When you have read it make sure to read it carefully again.

    Also make sure to take into account the following

    1. Are you using any 3rd party packages? If so are they compatible with newer releases or will they need to be uninstalled, or what needs to happen?
    2. Are you making use of the Umbraco API? Then be aware that it has changed from version 6.
    3. Are you doing any integration up against any 3rd party services that might break?
    4. Do you rely on many ucomponents options? Then be aware that some of them are now in the core in v7 and the ucomponents package itself is no longer relevant with Umbraco 7.

    Make sure to ask yourself a lot of questions and think about how potential issues might be handled.

    I think that I would upgrade Umbraco stepwise, even though some steps could probably be skipped but it makes it easier to rollback if something in a certain steps fails for some reason.

    You can also consider using git when doing your upgrade like Lee describes here http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/upgrading-umbraco-using-git/

    Handy tools to assist might be winmerge and beyond compare.

    Depending on the size of your project it might be beneficial to consider migrating from 4.7 to 7 directly using a tool like CMS import instead.

    Hope this helps a bit.

    /Jan
