Updating your Magento 1.7 or 1.8 to Magento Version 1.9
Updating your Magento not only brings a new look to your store but it also enhances performance and strengthens your site security. If you don’t regularly update your Magento store, it may have issues in functioning and also be prone to cyber-attacks. Before updating Magento development, first make sure you have a clean backup in place. You also need to test your features and see if they will be compatible with new updates so that you don’t run into technical issues. It is advisable to make sure you update when there is less traffic on the site for smooth update process.
The Updating Process After you have set up a backup and save your previous versions files somewhere, it is now safe to
start
the
upgrade.

● Open a new browser, you will get a notification telling you to install Magento 1.9 but don’t bother. Proceed until you reach configuration section and insert the same details you used on your v1.7 or v1.8.
