Upgrading CentOS6 to CentOS7
by jscoble from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58YKT)
Good day
I've a laptop running CentOS 6 that I'd like to upgrade to Centos 7 or later, but an online search gives some conflicting info.
On the one hand, there are sites that give fairly straightforward instructions.
eg: https://www.psychz.net/client/kb/en/...-centos-7.html
On the other hand, some older articles claim it can't be done - that the upgrade tool would simply mess up the system, not produce anything functional at the other end.
So what is the case? Has the broken upgrade tool been fixed?
