OMG thank you! Lol have no idea what a Cron task is so as far as I got with that was looking it up in Cpanel and seeing the "you should have a clue about Linux" warning, which I don't - BUT after completing all of the previous steps the upgrade is working on my test installation. I think it was the PHP limits, I looked up a tutorial online and what my Cpanel said was super low in comparison to the screenshot in the tutorial. ^.^
