Hello. We are in the process of migrating from elasticsearch 7.6.2 to version 8.7.0

In our present set up the indices are stored on local disk of all nodes in the cluster and we do not have a shared storage (NAS).

Is there a way we could migrate / copy over indices made in 7.6.2 to 8.7.0?

Thanks!

elasticsearch 7.6.2 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

To upgrade to 8.x from 7.16 or earlier, you must first upgrade to 7.17.  
Steps are [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#prepare-to-upgrade) and [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/upgrading-elasticsearch.html).
