Drush vs Composer with Drupal 8

Hi,

I've another site with Drupal 8.3.7 that has not been installed with Composer :-(

How can I update it to Drupal 8.5.3 ?

Should I migrate it into a Composer installation or is it still upgradable with drush8  ?

Thank you very much

Update from Drupal 8.3.7 to Drupal 8.5.3

Hi,

I have to upgrade a site from  from Drupal 8.3.7 to Drupal 8.5.3.

I've seen that there are many problems related to this upgrade because the different versions of drush and some symphonies' components.

So my question is, if I install, with Composer, a new Drupal 8.5.3 site into the /tmp directory and if I copy the composer.json of this new Drupal site into my Drupal 8.3.7 site and I execute "composer update --with-dependencies -v" do I have some changes that it works?

Thank you

Errors upgrading from 8.3.7 to 8.5.3

Hello,

For the past couple of weeks, I've been trying to upgrade to the latest Drupal. I've tried different ways but still got no further. Here are my current settings:

Current Version:
Drupal 8.3.7
php 5.6
Drush 8
Composer 1.4.1

Goal:
Drupal 8.5.3
php 7.2
Drush 9
Latest Composer

How I usually upgrade:
Manually take backup of /core and save it. Replace old core with new core directory. Then run update.php from site. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for this process.

Regarding database backup during up gradation of website

Hello All,

We are developing one website and creating some tables as part our customised module development.I have observed many tables get created as part of our drupal installation.  Now I wanted to replace the newly developed website(druapl 7) with the old website(druapl 7). 

I wanted to take the backup of old site then I will replace the new website. I have taken database  backup of customised module and "user" & "user_roles" from default tables.
