After the core update, the site will definitely be malfunctioning as expected, as long as it isn't WSOD, you're fine! Ignore it and move forward with the migration process. If you were using a custom theme, then in all probability your site will appear broken because your theme was designed for Drupal 6 and the core is now Drupal 7. If you were using custom or contrib modules to display content or blocks the same would happen because the modules are disabled and still Drupal 6.

This article is prepared with the experience of migration on zyxware.com and I have tried my best to generalize it to migrate any Drupal 6 website to Drupal 7. The issues mentioned in these articles, although common in sites that have been migrated, need not be present in yours.

This step may seem irrelevant, but is absolutely necessary as the minor versions may have database changes which maybe reflected in major upgrade. (Minor upgrade example : 6.11 to 6.19 and major upgrade example : 6.19 to 7.34). If you are using git, make sure to checkout a new branch before updating code so that the code is backed up and take a dump of the local database you are working on.

This is probably the part that will crash your site, so proceed with extreme caution! Migration actually starts here. Unlike the previous steps you will not be able to use drush to overwrite your core to Drupal 7. This has to be done manually. You have to download the latest stable version of Drupal 7 and paste into the root folder of your website. Make sure to not overwrite .htaccess and robots.txt. When you overwrite, merge into the folders and replace the files. That being said, there are some prerequisites to this step.

This article describes a checklist on some of the important data to be collected before migration and how to collect the data. This may seem like a trivial task but just like it is important to have a manual for an electronic device before you take it apart and put it back, it is important to have a technical manual of the site. If it is a complex site, with a lot of data, then this is mandatory.

With Drupal 8 in the works a lot of Drupal 6 sites are currently upgrading to Drupal 7. We get quite a few queries on Drupal upgrades and almost everybody asks for a fixed price estimate for the process. In theory Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade process is an automated process (except for the upgrade of theme and custom modules) and all you have to do is to take the site through a set of standard steps for the upgrade. However upgrades don't always work like that.
