I wonder if you can even update to the latest version. I have had a notebook, I never brought to 8 as its hardware was not supported from 8 onward. If you really want to update, use sources to move from version to version. I would move to 5.21 first and the 6.0, 7.0 ... It will not be possible to compile new versions with the old compiler you have. The binary upgrade came later. When you have reached that version, you can go via binary upgrades. Of course, you can have a try and move directly to the oldest version supporting binary upgrades. I only doubt that your old compiler will support this. Good luck.
