Hi DeWayne, it is good to see you again.
I just did this upgrade the other day. I made this video showing how I did it on my GoDaddy VPS, for Gary L. because he had a similar question. I don't know if it will help you, but maybe so. So here it is.
To be safe, make sure that you backup your mySQLdatabase and your moodledata directory before upgrading.
You will see that I use mostly SSH and my own script files. Let me know if you want a copy of these script files.
The upgrade is just a little different than an initial install.
