The installer does the database upgrade for you. You are supposed to upgrade from 5 to 6, from 6 to 7 and so on.

If you installed a completely new 7.10.2 installation then you will have to copy the data manually from the old database to the new one. This is has nothing to do with WHMCS and the procedure is the same for all databases, just use your favorite database tool to do the process of migrating the data but not the DB schema.

Sure, just use whatever database tool you prefer. It makes no difference since you are just transferring data from one database to the other.

you won't have to migrate the database yourself - the install script will do that when you give it the current v5.3.13 database details during installation.

if you want to keep a copy of the database before doing that, then you could duplicate it in phpmyadmin, or do a SQL dump... although if the cron has been performing daily database backups, then you should already have a backup of the database locally.
