[TYPO3-english] Update of late 4.7.x to 6.0 or 6.1

[Thomas Skierlo]

Thanks for your help, Xavier.

I hope I'll be lucky, since I use no extensions except realUrl, 
Gridelements, News and my own ones. I pushed the old Gridelements pretty 
much to it's limits, using static files/TSConfig.  I think, that I've to 
uninstall GE (old version) first. Than the 6.0 update, followed by a GE2 
installation. Is there a chance that my elements (> 20) will survive the 
update?
