I think / assume that this should work if you do all the upgrade steps from 18 to 22.

Catalogue data can be imported via the bulkmarcimport.pl script. So if your other library software can export that, then you're lucky :-)

If not, you'll have to convert whatever data you get to MARC21 first and the run bulkmarcimport.pl

For some of the other data (eg patron) there are importers available in Koha, but probably not for all. In those cases you would have to figure out how to import your old data directly into the Koha MySQL DB.
