Hi, I wish to upgrade from my current JIRA server version (4.2) to the latest one. Can I do it myself or do I need to contact JIRA support?Also, what is the process to upgrade manually?

Yes, you can absolutely upgrade yourself.

Probably best first read through the migration hub documentation https://confluence.atlassian.com/migration/jira-7?tab:platform=1

Since JIRA has been split into 3 different applications you'll need to decide which of the 3 you will end up installing as the 'latest' JIRA version. (or alternatively, upgrade to the latest 6.4 release and then work out what to do about JIRA 7)
