You can find all the details about whether your server and database are supported here.

From what I can tell, you're okay on that front for any versions except perhaps for upgrading your Oracle JDBC Driver.

Beyond that, my preference is to start by upgrading all the add-ons to the latest available version for the current Jira version.

Then upgrade Jira and check/upgrade the add-ons again.

As far as the actual Jira upgrade goes, there is really no shortcut from reading all the upgrade notes between your current version and the version you want to go to.

But as far as I'm aware, you can jump directly from 7.13 to 8.20 (the latest LTS) withing doing intermediate upgrades.

After the upgrade, you update the JSM app directly from the Application & License page.
