You will need to keep a note of the SSL changes you have made, as the upgrade will overwrite the files you've changed to configure it.

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/integrating-jira-applications-with-iis-802593039.html - that should cover the IIS connection, although the upgrade will not touch IIS, so if it's working ok now, it should continue to work. But, there are some settings in the server.xml you may need to re-apply changes to to get IIS to talk to it.
