Upgrade to PHP Version 7.2 - How to do it?

Hello - I am unfortunately somebody with Little understanding - I do urgently Need help as my Provider is changing the Supported PHP Versions to: 7.2

My provider's advise is the following:

All old PHP-Versions will be discontinued soon and I will automatically get upgraded to PHP 7.2

As my Webshop is not compatible at the Moment with PHP 7.2 (its currently operating on 5.6)
this will DESTROY :shocking: my whole shop System!

I do Need help with the following:

How can I actualize my CMS onto PHP 7.2 including all
PlugIns, Themes
They must be compatible with the new PHP
Version (7.2)

SOS :blush:

What version are you using now?

What plugins do you have installed?

Help is here :)
