Can I upgrade from version 4.4.7 to 4.5.0 immediately?

Yes.

See also Documentation --> Installation & Upgrade --> Upgrading:

NetBox can generally be upgraded directly to any newer release with no interim steps, with the one exception being incrementing major versions

Just to add a couple of quick notes before upgrading:

• Please make sure to review the v4.5 release notes (especially the breaking changes):
  https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/release-notes/version-4.5/
  In particular, NetBox v4.5 requires Python 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14 - Python 3.10 and 3.11 are no longer supported.

• If your deployment has a large dataset, you may want to hold off on upgrading to v4.5.0 and wait for v4.5.1 (currently targeted for January 20, 2026):
  https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/milestone/59
  There’s a known performance regression in v4.5.0 tracked here:

Hope that helps!
