We have the free version of JIRA and are currently at version 7.3. We would like to upgrade to version 7.12 (or higher) with the least amount of effort. We have no add-ons. We would also like to potentially move to the cloud and need a way to migrate automatically if possible. We have been advised that we first need to get from 7.3 to at least 7.6 in order to do that and preferably higher. Two questions:
1. Is 7.12 a good choice under these circumstances?
2. Is an in-place upgrade safe and simple using the installer (Windows)?
