Good afternoon,

I currently have ES 6.5 installed on Windows Server 2012, and want to upgrade to 7.5. Since this is a single node, I assume that this will not be a rolling upgrade, but rather a full-cluster restart upgrade. It means an outage, but also that I can upgrade from 6.5 to 7.5 directly, per the documentation.

I find the documentation for Linux systems at:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/restart-upgrade.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/restart-upgrade.html)

However, I am having difficulties finding the instructions for Windows. Would anyone know where I can find them? Thank you!

Sincerely,

RS
