Hey there.

Your upgrade path is:

6.7.5 → 7.9.6 → 8.9.10 → 9.9.4 → 10.4 (last step optional)

You should not target 9.8. It is not an active version of SonarQube.

You may find these resources helpful:

You will still be able to analyze Java 1.8 code, although you will need to make sure Java 11 is available to run the scanner. Learn more in the Scanner Environment docs.
