Confluence Upgrade

Version?
Schedule?

Yi

Yi is interested in Version 7.7 that has accessibility improvements and cluster re-indexing without downtime.  
Since the smaller versions in 7.7 are mostly bug fixes, does that mean our upgrade will be for Version 7.7.4?
How long will the upgrade take?
If it can’t be done within the maintenance window, shall we schedule it during the Thanksgiving break?
