Resizing went well, I booted on the MX usb stick and used gparted to resize multiple partitions even my /boot. Problem is MS changed something in bitlocker so I'm using dislocker for the moment, it works

If your data is kept on external drives and partitions and you use your home folder as a temporary staging area then upgrading or even installing a completely different OS or Desktop Environment is not a big deal at all. I never keep important data on the same partition as the OS and when ...

The upcoming Trixie release that would become the foundation of MX-25 will be certainly be a major change from the Bookworm base of MX-23 so I'd agree that a fresh install of MX-25 would be the way to go, so as to avoid any major issues if you are on KDE as going from Plasma 5 to 6 is a huge change ...
