Ok, I'm running v2.2 still on my site. It's performing well and I have been putting up the upgrade for too long.
Now I'm moving to a new server (VPS) and will make the effort of upgrading at the same time.

So, my first thought was to install v2.6 fresh and that's what I have done now.
It's now working fine on the new server and it's time to move the content.

But this is where I hesitate....

What's best practice here ?

A) First move current v2.2 site to new server and then upload new files and overwrite exisiting with v2.6 ?
B ) Install v2.6 on new server and then move content ?

Which is easiest ? Upload from v2.2 or move content and have all info intact ?
Is it even possible to simply overwrite with v2.6 files, what about upgrading the DB ? Any problems with content in it already ?

Would appreciate any input on this....
