Upgrade MariaDB

[TomazVa]

Hi there!

I'm running XAMPP (portable) with MySQL 1.8.2 on XP machine.
Now the machine will be upgraded (HW+SW) to WIN10 and also XAMPP should be upgraded to latest version 5.6.15 with MariaDB 10.1.10.
I have to migrate DB from MySQL 5.5.32 to MariaDB 10.1.10.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I expect two step database migration would be the safest method:
1. Migrate from MySQL 5.5.32 to MariaDB 5.5.48. Done from ZIP file according to this instructions:
http://articlebin.michaelmilette.com/how-to-upgrade-mysql-to-mariadb-in-xampp-in-5-minutes-on-windows/
This was done and tested!
2. Migrate from MariaDB 5.5.48 now running on XAMPP 1.8.2 to MariaDB 10.1.10 with XAMPP 5.6.15.

How to migrate databases from MariaDB 5.5.48 now running on XAMPP 1.8.2 to MariaDB 10.1.10 with XAMPP 5.6.15?
Can aynone give me some advice? Thank You!
