Hello everyone,
I'm upgrading a legacy site but it's more or less going to be a fresh build. It is going to be completely re themed. What I'm interested in is preserving the database. Can I simply run the update script in 5.7 on 4.6 database? I can't find any info about this before I start experimenting.
Many thanks in advance

Consecutive fresh drupal installs, 4.7 and then 5.7?
Just bumping this - hoping that someone will spot it. The only way I can think of solving this at the moment is to install consecutive fresh of Drupal. Install a fresh copy of 4.7 and let the database update script migrate the DB. Then a fresh install of 5.7 and let the database update script once again migrate it? Once that's done then install all my new lovely custom 5.7 modules that I've been developing?
Just got a million jobs on at the moment otherwise would spend the time experimenting with this. Just hoping that someone might have some experience of this before I started, to make sure that I'm heading down the right track?
in case you or someone else is still looking
I've been researching the same thing. These threads discuss that issue:
