  2. Backup DB: GO to phpMyAdmin choose the relevant DB, click 'export' on the top right horizontal menu. use 'custom' to compress it or just click 'go' to download it as it is. save it to the same directory you saved the compressed file system
  3. Put site in maintenance mode Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode
  4. Delete directories and files from the server: Delete Core and Vendor. Backup root files that you manually modified and removed all the root files as well
  5. Upload the compressed Core version file to the directory (typically 'public_html') and extract it
  6. Remove the compressed version file
  7. Replace removed files: from the extracted directory move core, vendor and the root files one level up to our site directory. Than remove the extracted directory
  8. Fix root files if needed: if you made any changes to the root files - like .htaccess - put them in the new files
