So, I have ReadyNAS 4200 as a remote storage, and it says it has Raidiator 4.2.3.
Peviously I used ReadyNASRemote, before account merging, now I want to access this storage via ReadyCLOUD.
Assuming I already made file backup and created MyNetgear unified account, which steps should I do next? I tried to search for guides, but couldn't find anything clear.
I was told by techsupport to upgrade my storage to OS6, though they warned me this combination isn't supported, but since my hardware support expired as well, well...
But I haven't got any instructions, just was told to go to community to find how too.

My advice is don't use the ready cloud ! take a look at all the posts about it in the last couple of days and decide for yourself ! I have felt the pain myself 😞
Tried to dig through, with little to no success. In a nutshell: it fries device, garbles data, makes device unoperable?
Well, then let's suppose I can procure new last generation ReadyNAS storage, but without DSDs, and I want to transfer both drives and data from my old device to new - is there any pitfalls and tricks I must be aware? I'm not actually familiar with RN systems or the whole process, so be ready for really stupid questions.

I wouldn't go that far. My advice is you don't use ReadyCloud as your local means of access, use the local access interface. You can still use it as you did with ReadyNAS Remote -- as a way to remotely access the unit. One disadvantage is that a ReadyCloud user is a different user and won't have access to the home share of a local user. But you can create a separate share and give both users access to it.
If you want something more like ReadyNAS Remote, where it's really just a VPN that gets you to the local controls when you are remote, but on OS6, you can look into ZeroTier or another VPN soluton. I use ZeroTier on my legacy NASes running OS6, including a recently acquired 4200V2, and have disabled ReadyCloud. Search the forum if you are interested in it.
