Thank you. But how with my data?

I don`t need to run an update in multiple stages, from 7.1X.X to 8.0

@JConstantineYes you need to update.

Two of most important reason,

* Jira 7.1 has known critical security vulnerabilities ( https://www.atlassian.com/trust/security/advisories )
* Jira 8.x is much is much faster than Jira 7.x - ( https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftware/jira-software-8-0-x-release-notes-957981626.html )

Hi @JConstantine

You can upgrade your JIRA instance in a single hop. But, before you start upgrading the Jira instance ensure that you have supported Database and Java and Appach in your server. For more information, you can go through the supported-platforms page and apps are also compatible with the latest version of Jira. We request you to perform this in a test environment and then Production instance.
