Need Assistance migrating MySQL Server 5.6 to 8

Hello,
My CentOS 6 server was running MySQL Server 5.6.10 and the system drive died before I could migrate to MySQL 8. I have a tape backup of the mysql data folder.
I read I need to get to 5.7 before I can migrate to 8, is this correct?

I installed CentOS 7 MySQL 5.6.51 from the RPM package an updated via the yum repo file. I am guessing I need to have a working mysql in current version before I migrate higher.
I verified the path in my.conf file was pointing to the correct folder. mysqld does not start, I am getting many failures. I am thinking the 5.6.10 is a bit different than 5.6.51.
Can anyone offer some high level tasks to get me to 5.7 and 8?
Am I on the correct path going up with the version numbers?
Shall I start with a new blank database and import the old databases?

Thank you.
