Getting Android 7 or 8 - Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I currently have a Sony Xperia E4g (E2003) smartphone running android 4.4.4(the latest one supported), however I am willing to flash an android 7 or 8 rom, without getting a brick. Will it be safe to flash an android 7 or 8 rom with fastboot? (Please note I already have root and twrp)
Thanks

Install CyanogenMod in lenovo A3500-HV

I own a Lenovo A3500 -HV. I have been using it for an year now and it is running KitKat(4.4.2). There is no sign of a newer OS coming to this tab so I have decided to install a new ROM. I decided to go with CynanogenMod but the problem is my device is not listed in the supported devices directory.
I think my device has the minimum requirements to run the OS.
I would like to know if it will be better to install the CyanogenMod or just leave it with kitkat or maybe install some other mods that my tab can support?

Flashing a Nougat ROM with MultiROM from 4.4.2

Hi all,
I just found my old Nexus 7 (2012 model) in a dresser drawer and decided to bring it up to speed. Currently it is running what appears to be a stock (maybe debloated) 4.4.2 with root and multirom. Recovery is TWRP for multirom. I was using multirom to run Ubuntu just for kicks, but have lost interest in that project, plus it now appears to no longer be supported. Now what I want to do is just flash one of the nougat based roms and call it good. When I try to add nougat as a second rom I get errors relating to E: not existing, it then deletes everything that just started to install. Posts I've seen in other hardware forums point to maybe the install script being wrong for multiboot. Is there any weight to this idea?
I want to run one of the new roms as a secondary first to see how well it works before flashing it for good. Am I missing something stupid here? I haven't messed with any of this stuff since I switched to Verizon and could really use some help.
I don't really need the multiboot option, but since I've gained it I'm a little slow to want to give it back up. Would it be easier for me to just reload the bootloader, recovery, etc, take it back to stock and start over?

Is the support of Multiroms dead or do they plan a patch for nougat later when it get more mainstream? I am currently running dirty unicorn 7.0 since I just got my screen and would like to have older build for compatibility issue.

If you wan Android 7 on your Nexus 7 2010 you can't use MultiROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403&page=316
Without MultiROM you can use this Android 7 ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-nexus-7-2012-t3530261

ROM question: Upgrading on old OP5 with Android 6 to 10

Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question but I have an old OP5 sitting in a drawer that I'm not using anymore- it's already rooted and running a custom Android 6 ROM that I had flashed.
I was going to give it to a friend but I wanted to flash an Android 10 ROM on it for him before handing it over (he doesn't know how to do this stuff).
I wanted to know if I can wipe the phone, flash a newer version of TWRP and then either OOS 10 or a custom Q ROM, or if I have to flash it to OOS 6, then 7, 8, 9 before I can put an Android 10 ROM on it.
I vaguely remember going 2 versions up on this device before (possibly back in the lollipop era) and if I recall correctly I had to flash the next Android version before flashing to the version after that in order for the custom ROM to work, but it's been a long time. Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can offer.
