The process to "upgrade" is that you install a parallel copy of CentOS 7 on a different machine and migrate your services to it.

There is no upgrade process from one major version to the next (e.g 6 to 7).
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
