Hello All,
Is there a recommended path to take when upgrading fromv13.10.2 to v16.3.0. Do you need to go to specific versions of 14 and 15 before you can safely upgrade 16?
Many thanks
Not to my knowledge. The migrations should run in order and do all the work. I have done limited upgrades from 13 to 16, but those that I did worked fine.

I had some issues upgrading from 13.10 to 16.2.0, because of a missing key in the database. The issue should have been fixed in 16.3.0. But in case you still se something, you could try the 1.6.1 version as it worked for me.

Going on historical advice, I’d usually upgrade to the latest release of your current major version first, eg 13.11.0

And make sure that Umbraco is in the best shape possible. I would always:
- Migrated Nested Content and Macro’s before an Umbraco to 16 to have one less thing to worry about
- Check any other deprecated data editors, like the older media pickers.
- Upgrade all related packages (if applicable) like forms
- Check the logs for reoccuring errors and fix them before hand
The best thing about these upgrades is, if you have a good backup of your Umbraco 13 database, you can just run the upgrade and see if there are any issues. If so, change things and just try again.
