## Upgrade paths
Upgrading across multiple GitLab versions in one go is *only possible by accepting downtime*.
The following examples assume downtime is acceptable while upgrading.
If you don't want any downtime, read how to [upgrade with zero downtime](zero_downtime.md).
Find where your version sits in the upgrade path below, and upgrade GitLab
accordingly, while also consulting the
[version-specific upgrade instructions](#version-specific-upgrading-instructions):
`8.11.Z` -> `8.12.0` -> `8.17.7` -> `9.5.10` -> `10.8.7` -> [`11.11.8`](#1200) -> `12.0.12` -> [`12.1.17`](#1210) -> `12.10.14` -> `13.0.14` -> [`13.1.11`](#1310) -> [`13.8.8`](#1388) -> [`13.12.15`](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/categories/releases/) -> [latest `14.0.Z`](#1400) -> [latest `14.1.Z`](#1410) -> [latest `14.Y.Z`](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/categories/releases/)
The following table, while not exhaustive, shows some examples of the supported
upgrade paths.

It is required to follow the following upgrade steps to ensure a successful *major* version upgrade:
1. Upgrade to the latest minor version of the preceding major version.
1. Upgrade to the first minor version (`X.0.Z`) of the target major version.
1. Proceed with upgrading to a newer release.
1. Upgrade to the next major version (`X.0.Z`).
