Slightly edited for clarityIt will take some juggling but so long as you keep a backup you can always install to a fresh folder/database and try again. keeping the folder names and database names the same[as each other] prevents a lot of confusion.
- Use Wamp https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/
- Create a folder in Wamp's \www folder e.g. \test1
- Start Wamp and select suitable php and database versions (install them into wamp if needed)
- Copy your site to \www\test1 https://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Jooml ... s_with_FTP when making the database in Wamp call it test1
- Use Akeeba to backup your site https://www.akeeba.com/compatibility.html
- Uninstall old/incompatible/vulnerable extensions/templates
- Update Joomla, save, make a backup, 'rinse repeat' until the site breaks
- Create a new folder in Wamp's \www folder e.g. \test2
- Change the php/database versions wamp to suit the site
- Use the last good backup to install into Wamp's \www\test2. The install will create the database to the name you chose during installation. (suggest test2)
- Continue steps #5 #9 (with new folders/databases as needed) until you are up to date.
