I've been asked to help with an upgrade.
I notice that there are quite a few structural changes between these versions. So what is the best way to go?
My thoughts run like this: take a GEDCOM from the v6 build, rename the present Legacy folder to something else, and build v7.x in a new Legacy folder. Import GEDCOM to v7.x....
That seems simple enough - but there may be a better way, of course. Suggestions welcome...

convert it.
Back it up first, because the old version won't be able to read the new one.
I haven't done if from 6.x to 7.xx, because I never used 6.x, but I did do it
successuflly from 5.x to 7.x.

It is very difficult not to get an answer to a question here.
Sometimes the answers are correct. :-)
