Pretty good instructions are here:

You would also do well to make sure that over-ride files in your custom template system are compatible with the core files in the new version. You may need to do some edits - but you must check these - use WINMERGE to compare the files.

Remember that your DEFINED pages need to be backed up as well, as you will need to re-import these to the upgraded version.
