Migrate data to upgraded server

Migrate data to upgraded server

My Helpdesk server is broken at the moment as I cannot upgrade from 14201 to the latest, the update manager refuses to open.  I need to migrate to a new server anyway, can the migration be done from a server a little behind to the newest version?  Will it update the database on restore?  Can this be done?  Being stuck not being able to upgrade is a problem, and I have way too much data to start fresh.
