Hello Santosh Bhima,

Thanks for your question.

Yes, this is supported. I would recommend that you create a test VM in dev environment and run the upgrade on it using the steps here:

I looked into this article but based on the steps mentioned in this link it takes several hours to do an upgrade for a single VM.

I will recommend testing to determine the length and process of the upgrade
