To upgrade such an old version you need to:

1. Switch to PHP 8.0 and check the requirements are all good. (Don't use 8.1 because it causes a few more upgrade errors compared to 8.0. The old upgrade steps were never written for 8.0/8.1 which didn't even exist at the time.)
2. Manually upload the new 4.7 files to your server.
3. Go to /admin/upgrade to start the upgrade process.

 

Before doing the upgrade, you also should uninstall any 3rd party applications/plugins that don't have any updated version for 4.x, if not a lot of extra tables/columns/settings (maybe even tasks) will remain in the database.

Considering how old the version is, doing a test upgrade in another location is usually a good idea, especially if you have lots of 3rd party modifications installed.

I will do this but currently i have the file structure in old version which you can see in the Screenshot i have attached

and in the new version files and folders looks different so can i manually upload the files as it is and do the upgrade?

would it be done smoothly?
