Hi Joseph, you don't have to do each individual step, but you do have to go through all the single-version updates and take note of any particular steps that are specific for that version. Especially do not forget to do the database schema upgrades. You don't have to actually start DSpace after each single-version update. The upgrade between all versions are documented here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Upgrading+a+DSpace+Installation I strongly recommend you to start with a clean DSpace 3 configuration directory and add in only your customizations. You can find them out by doing a diff between the clean DSpace 1.6 dspace.cfg and your customized DSpace 1.6 dspace.cfg. Then simply transfer them by hand to the clean DSpace 3 configuration. I also strongly recommend you to start with a fresh DSpace 3 installation on a new machine with up-to-date OS, Java, etc., copy the database and assetstore over, import the 1.6 database and do the database upgrade steps on the new machine.
