Best practice process to create multistore using different PS versions

[bnadauld]

Hi,

Im planning on creating a new site and joining it to my exiting site with multistore. I just wanted to clarify the process - if someone can help please?

 

My existing site is full operational running on version 1.6.

My New site will be in version 1.7.

 

Is there best practice process for doing this? I'm thinking there might be issues with templates being designed for different engines?

My plan was to:

1. create the new 1.7 site on wamp

2. migrate my existing 1.6 site to wamp

3. Join 1.6 store to 1.7 store with multistore

4. configure both sites

5. migrate both sites to my hosting provider

 

Thanks in advance
