I wrote an email like one week ago, I need to follow up there.
You will need to put the old images in /images and then backup your 2.X database. You will need to start from scratch with a backup database from 2.X... Then edit app/settings.php and connect the system to this 2.X database and then go to http://yoursite.com/install.php and the system will guide you to perform the update.
Yes, you will fool the system by connecting a 2.X database rather than import 2.X to 3.X the system (files) will think that the DB is outdated (2.X) and that it needs to update the database.
No, with 3.x update the admin is gone. You must use /dashboard for that.
No, with 3.x update the admin is gone. You must use /dashboard for that.
It runs slow because 2.X to 3.X doesn't build medium sized images, so all the images in listing are load for the full image url. I will add later on a rebuild tool for medium sized images and thumbs.
Your site is already updated. The thing with the missing images is something that I will add for the next release: I will include a system to re-create missing thumbs and medium images so the images will get fixed on demand rather than process all the thing.
