   You're on the right track. Have a look at Upgrading_WordPress before you start. There's links there on backing up -- you might be happier if you back it all up first.

   have to do a import of data for comments and things like that.

   No instructions say that ever...
   WHERE did you read that?

   Don't rely on other "best friend" than the Codex: see Upgrading_WordPress; also read the devs blog by scrolling up and clicking on "Blog".
