Apparently you opened the same question already at > [@Upgrading elastic search & kibana from 6.6.1 to 7.x or 8.x](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/upgrading-elastic-search-kibana-from-6-6-1-to-7-x-or-8-x/365100): > > Hi @all This is regarding a query on upgrading Elasticsearch & kibana. The current version of Elastic search & Kibana in our organization is 6.6.1 used to storing RPA logs. I am planning to upgrade to 7.x or 8.x Could you please help me in providing detailed steps to do the upgrade activity for Kibana and Elasticsearch. Are there any prerequisites to directly upgrade to any 7.x or 8.x versions? Is 7.x and 8.x versions of Elastic search are free or paid versions? Let's keep all that in the same place. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-and-kibana-upgrade-from-6-6-to-7-0/365139)._
