hi @BM-ES welcome to the forum

please use search this topic has been discussed multiple time. e.g. few days ago:

Migrating and upgrading at the same time into a new/upgraded NC instance

Please search the forum, this topic has been discussed far too often already server_migration In short: There is no way to migrate to a different version either upgrade the old one until latest or migrate first and upgrade the destination system you can mix and match steps 2 and 3 as you want or even use an intermediate system like VM or docker to perform intermediate upgrades and only migrate the last version to the destination system.

you will find most of the topic tagged with server_migration
