 * Hi all,
 * Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am doing nor do I understand the technical 
   jargon associated with web development/management.
 * Our current WP is on version 3.3.1 and we must upgrade for security reasons. 
   The issue is I have no idea how to do this. A colleague downloaded the database
   and files for a proper backup. I’ve watched a number of videos and referred to
   the WP detailed instructions for manual upgrading, but am at a complete loss 
   at present.
 * Clear and simple instructions would be amazing.
 * Thanks.

 * Follow this guide for doing the upgrade: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended](https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended)
 * Also, follow this guide for the path you’ll have to take when upgrading across
   multiple versions: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended#Upgrading_Across_Multiple_Versions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended#Upgrading_Across_Multiple_Versions)
 * Don’t worry, it’s actually a simple process, the guide is just *very* detailed.
