Migrating and upgrading 4.4.10 to 4.7

[IndianaJoe]

I have potentially taken on the task of migrating a 4.4.10 version to a new server and obviously upgrading to the latest and greatest version.

What would be the easiest and best steps to do this without much hassle? 

The old version is mainly just a messageboard, so just lots of users and posts to migrate.

Thanks!
