Thank you for this! My main concern with fresh-n-copy is that I won't know all the nooks and crannies where the config files are stuffed, and if any application-dependent entries were made to system config files. For example, do I copy and replace the entire /etc directory from Buster to Bullseye on the new SD card? I'm assuming there are many version-dependent programs in there and it would break something in the new OS. Then how would I know if I only need to copy over /etc/rpimonitor and nothing else? Does rpimonitor require any other files to be edited in other places? I don't know these things, which is why an in-place update is much better from the application standpoint. I suppose it would still break if system config files need to be edited because the new OS would overwrite those...and this is why Windows XP is still a thing.See this post.
