How to upgrade dotnetnuke with existing database table

I got a DOTNETNUKE project. I am new to DOTNETNUKE. My client has given me the files and folder with Database(say abc.mdf). I was said to upgrade their developed site from version 6 to latest version v7.0. The issue when upgrading is "How to map the latest version to existing Database?" ie: when I installed v7.0 in my system, it creates new database with 137 default tables. How am I supposed to map those 137 default tables, stored procedures, etc to existing database(abc.mdf) so that up-gradation happens easily with database.

I didn't find a proper solution for that.. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

DNN will do all that for you.

Extract the UPGRADE package over your existing site. Hit the site, login as host, run the Upgrade.
