I've been wondering about doing something similar, but also upgrading to 4.7.x at the time of the fresh install. So let's hope someone can come up with an answer, unless you already have one, in which case I'd love to hear it

I have been trying to do the same thing but so far no luck. Some of the problems have been related to the collation of the database. It should be utf8_general_ci but was at latin1. I have tried the update.php but have never had any success, just get 406 error - no database updates occur. I have tried exporting the data only, changing the character set to utf8 but still won't load into a 4.7 database. If anyone has anymore ideas maybe we can figure this out together.

Here is a fix to my problem - maybe others have the same problem on fedora

update.php will not run with mod_security enabled in apache.
Findout if it is installed:

rpm -qa |grep security

Results:

mod_security-1.9.4-1.fc5

Turn it off:

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d
mv mod_security.conf mod_security.conf.off
service httpd restart

Run update:

http://website.com/update.php

Then turn mod_security back on after you have completed your site updates:

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d
mv mod_security.conf.off mod_security.conf
service httpd restart

Success!
