Migrate apps & data from iPhone 4 (iOS 6) to iPhone 6+ (iOS 8)

I'm helping my kid to do this & I'm no iOS nor Apple product users.

Can someone provide me a step by step guide to migrate data (music, photo etc)
& apps from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6+  (without migrating the iOS version over ie
the iPhone 6+ should still be running iOS 8).

Calendars, appointments, emails (that are stored locally in the iPhone 4), reminders,
Wifi settings, email client settings/configurations, Whatsapp & SMS messages need
to be migrated over as well, ie everything except the iOS.

If there's anything that can't be migrated over, kindly indicate the item


If there are any 3rd party software that are better for this migration purpose
(ie better than iTunes), do indicate.   If it's iTunes, let me know the version.
I'm using Windows 7 on my laptop so the iTunes or 3rd party tool needs to run on Win 7

Ok, for music, I believe I've seen it in the Computer;  just that I used it on a very old iTunes on my Win XP
a couple years back but that XP has since got rid of that version of iTunes.

Think I know how to use Win Explorer to copy the mp3 files over

I'm quite green to iTunes: a friend help me previously with it (even to make purchases from AppStore).

 if you have the screen shots to show what to click, (step by step) for iTunes V11.2.2.X), that will help

So how do I copy the mp3 files over?
 The last time a visiting colleague who is seasoned with using an older version of iTunes took a while to locate this backup function in this more recent iTunes version

Where are the mp3 files now, and where do they need to be?

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
