That is correct, but you'll need to upgrade to 6.0 first, and then 6.5 or 6.7.
Also check your hardware is supported for 6.5.

Sometimes you can sometimes you cannot....
It's better to get your platform onto 6.0!
and then 6.0 to 6.5.
Does not take much longer.... and you don't have to use ISO, which can make it even quicker!
