Hi guys, 

I need to convert my Drupal 7.69 to Drupal 7.94. 
Can someone provide steps how should I proceed ? 
 

How I'll migrate database and contents from 7.69 to 7.94 ? 
And can we install php 8.2 in 7.94 ?
Please provide some documentation so it would be better for me.

First, the current latest release of the Drupal 7 branch is release 7.98. That is the version you need to update to. Release 7.94 is already tagged "insecure" and should be avoided.

The simplest way to update from one minor version of Drupal 7 to another is to use the CLI and drush.

First, make sure you have the latest version of drush that is compatible with Drupal 7 installed. I.e.:

drush version
 Drush Version   :  8.4.12

Then, to update the site to the latest release (7.98), type the following three commands in or below the site's webroot:

drush rf
drush up -y
drush updb

The last of these (drush updb) migrate database from 7.69 to 7.98.

Drupal 7.98 core is compatible with PHP 8.2. However, there is no guarantee that all contributed modules that you use is. For example, the very much used Backup and Migrate is not. (Example: #3350436: Deprecation messages with PHP 8: Creation of dynamic property...). Be prepared to roll-back if you're bitten by a PHP 8 deprecation.
