Upgrading between GnuCash versions requires upgrading to the last release of the previous version before upgrading to the first release of the new version. https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases shows V4.14 was released prior to V5.0. PortableApps GnuCash V4.14 would be useful to provide an assured upgrade path with PortableApps.

I see no mention of it being required. I skipped 4.14 in my own local upgrade as well.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I see it says recommended not required. I'd suggest performing the same steps with your current version and then moving to 5.x. Platform users have already been upgraded, which is the vast majority of our userbase. I use GnuCash locally and did the same upgrade to 5 without updating to 4.14 as well. I won't be taking the time to produce a standalone portable build of 4.14 at present.
