That is a question that can only be answered by the programmers, or someone that has done it.
I'd suggest that you get a v4 backup, and try opening it (in a new database) in v7 and see what happens. Either way you will have your answer. As a programmer (by trade - not of Legacy), I can say that it basically depends on if they have left in the database conversion code for all the versions, in case someone upgrades from a really old version. If it doesn't work - then contact them, they may have a utility they can use to update it for you.
