Just adding my support for Isaac said. Do it on the first day of the offseason. Back up your files first. Then as Isaac said, the process can take a while depending on how much history you have and how large your league is, so expect to let it run for a while.

Once you have imported, make a backup of THAT too.

One thing I like to do when changing versions is to go through all of the settings again to make decisions about what new features I want to enable/disable. Then I back up after that. THEN I sim into the future, maybe 2-3 years, and do a cursory review to make sure nothing obvious blows up.

I did that this time and caught a problem with the "playoff roster" feature that I had enabled. It would have been a huge pain if I had played the whole season and run into that problem. Instead, I just disabled playoff rosters and have been playing without any problems since. (I heard a rumor the playoff roster issue was fixed in the latest patch, but I don't really care much about the playoff rosters anyway, so it wasn't a problem for me.)

Good luck!
