I'm well aware of the point, but the facts are that upgrading a non-fresh system is very likely to result in a non-bootable or non-usable system, meaning you'll have lost all of your settings and applications anyway. So, better to plan for that and move your system over to an SD card (or leave it there if it already is) and upgrade a fresh install where your chances of success are much higher.

Hardly, that's likely months away. Waiting until then to play around is pointless.
