How to upgrade Next.js from 7.0.2 to latest

[sambhav2612]

Hi,

We have been using this very old version of Next.js for quite some time now and have been wanting to upgrade it to latest, given the documentation only supports upgrades from 8.x.x to latest, I had no resort but to post this query here since it isn't an issue to report.

Thanks!

Next.js 7 => 8 should be fully backwards compatible in most cases. There are no explicit upgrade instructions.

tl;dr only edge cases should break, which need handled on a case-by-case basis

Please see the relevant blog post:
