I have upgraded between similar versions before by overwriting the /bin files and deleting the stuff like umbraco.config & examine indexes that get rebuilt when they are deleted.

The official site has a version specific upgrade path that seems logical enough: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/version-specific

But, I'd question why you would upgrade from 4.5 to 4.11 - as Niels Hartvig has often stated, there is no real upgrade path, its just a series of overwrites and deleting what gets deprecated. I guess you're looking for razor support - but with v7 imminent I'm not sure that an upgrade within the v4 family of releases has a long enough life span to justify it. Why not stick with v4.5 until you're ready to completely rewrite in MVC in v6 or v7?
