Upgrading from 1.7.1 to 1.10.1

I'd like to do an upgrade for someone from 1.7.1 to 1.10.1

Is this doable?

They have ALOT of modules/code and I fear this may be too much of an upgrade.

Will this be OK, or should I do a gradual upgrade?

Thanks for your help.

I haven't yet no.

I only just noticed that it was at 1.10.1

Was quite shocked to see it if I'm honest.

I guess that's a no go then?

I'll take a look of course, but would welcome your expertise Calguy.

Ah, upgrade to 1.9.4.3

OK ... Not a problem.

So now my question is, will there be problems from 1.7.1 to 1.9.4.3?

- Do a full backup of data and code. Make sure it is restorable!
- Save the list of modules with versions
- Upgrade modules to the latest 1.7.1 supported versions
- Upgrade from 1.7.1 to 1.9.4.3 (check if a direct upgrade is supported)
- Upgrade modules as you go along
- Check that modules are 1.10.x compatible and read the upgrade info
- Upgrade to 1.10.x
- Upgrade modules to the latest
