    Hello,
    That's a very broad discussion and depends on a lot of factors. If you are facing a specific error then kindly post it here or create a support case if possible.

    The official documentation should cover all areas of the upgrade:

    Upgrading Version 16 Microsoft System and Base Application to Version 17

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/upgrade-unmodified-application-v16-to-v17

    Technical Upgrade from Version 16 to Version 17

    there shouldn't be that many breaking changes from BC16 to BC17.

    try to update in sandbox and test there.

    check here for list of breaking changes.
