WordPress 4.6 to 4.7 having issue upgrading on Azure

Question

I am trying to upgrade my WordPress website from version 4.6 to 4.7. When I try this through the WordPress panel, I get an error after about 3 minutes of waiting which is:

500 - The request timed out.

The web server failed to respond within the specified time.

I have tried the upgrade multiple times (at different times) and gotten the same error.

My WordPress site is hosted on Microsoft Azure, and I have never had problems upgrading a version of WordPress before. How do I make the upgrade correctly?

I would suggest temporary upgrade your instance size, so it doesn't timeout — 4c74356b41, Dec 17 '16 at 10:02
The instance I have selected is the S1 Standard with 1 Core, and 1.75 GB RAM. Which instance should I upgrade to? — William Ross, Dec 17 '16 at 10:06
I tried to upgrade from S1 to S3 but it still timed out in the same way. — William Ross, Dec 17 '16 at 10:14
well, S1 should be fine, generally speaking, I guess you should consult wordpress logs — 4c74356b41, Dec 17 '16 at 10:16
I'd prefer to do the automatic install through the panel, because the manual install has a lot of steps that I have never tried before: https://www.wordfence.com/learn/how-to-manually-upgrade-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/ Or is there an easier way to do the manual install? — William Ross, Dec 17 '16 at 13:56

One of my updates seems to have gone through even though the WordPress admin said the updates failed. It now shows I have WordPress 4.7
