upgrading umbraco from 8 to latest

Hi umbracians! Been a while for me. The business have finally decided to do a full rework of a big website that we have on U8. I was wondering whether there are any known issues when upgrading an existing website in 8 up to the latest version. Of course I would follow the update guidelines on umbracos website and I am fully aware of the shift from c# to dotnet core. I have previously upgraded a website from 8 to 9 successfully. My concern mostly lies around whether or not there are any database related changes that may affect the content etc. Has anyone tried to do anything similar?

I am migrating my umbraco form 8 to 10 and looking at this guide, I need to set StoreUmbracoFormsInDb to True and after that should be able to have value "1d084819-84ba-4ac7-b152-2c3d167d22bc" in "umbracoKeyValue" table but in reality I don't see any "1d084819-84ba-4ac7-b152-2c3d167d22bc" . Why is that @Sebastiaan ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1201864111877795907/1254793262141542410/image.png?ex=667ac8ca&is=6679774a&hm=3039d775e8631b4caa81a1c266afacd037052484a2b01f9ee3823912a43f6ede&

Hi @Dave Pearcey we are currently migrating all of our Umbraco 8 applications to Umbraco 13. If you need any help or advice contact me! Also I'm writing a blog post to give some advice about upgrading.
