Upgrading Drupal

Tried to upgrade several modules which were marked as security problems. Did so by going into maintenance mode, downloading the .tar.gz files, removing the old module directories, unpacking the new ones to replace them, then running upgrade.php. The other modules worked fine but form_builder fails leaving this message:

I am updating a drupal 6 site to 7. This is being done on a local site with xampp.

Everything going according to plan.

I install ubercart. I even was able to take care of the taxonomy extra problem.

Hi,

I've attempted to upgrade my Drupal 7 site to 8 using the upgrade UI module in Drupal 8.

I have my Drupal 7 database locally and have installed a clean install of Drupal 8 and enabled the migration modules, pointed the upgrade module to the Drupal 7 database and ran the upgrade process, but after 56 hours the process is still running, this seems too long. The database is over a gig in size, but it shouldn't be taking that long should it? how long should the upgrade process be taking?

Are there any improvements I can do to improve the upgrade time?

Thanks

I have version 8.3.4 installed and I am trying to update some modules.

When I get a system report or run the database update script I get the following error message:

Configuration directory: sync
The directory sites/default/files/config_QY4nIc4LMKUCYPUCo2Ka0p1gJSMs77w3b1ANX_Lco2F2OGjjuXC4pLnp3ws6D3QEef3UeXBMYw/sync does not exist.

What's the easiest way to find someone who would be willing to upgrade my two Drupal installations for me? The Marketplace was a bit overwhelming.

In the past, I've managed to do this myself with the help of Bluehost, but they aren't willing to help any longer, and I always get myself into trouble.

I kept getting messages on my Acquia Dev Desktop 2 installation of 8.3.1 on Windows 10 that there were critical updates needed. So I followed the instructions at https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/updating-your-drupal-site/how-to-update-dr....
