Upgrading cisco catalyst switches to the latest firmware

[MT16]

Hi All,

I wanted to find out what the best practices are with regards to upgrading cisco switch software versions. I have a catalyst switch 1000 on version 15.2(7)E1 and I can see that the latest version available now is 15.2.7E7 would I need to upgrade to E2,3,4,5,6 or can I go straight to E7. If someone can also share a good resource in terms of the steps when upgrading that would be helpful.

Thank you
