Myself I did a complete new installment. That's because I always like a clean slate and a clean start. But you can migrate between the two. There is a link to help you out on that one.

In your other post you said that you started with one of the beta releases. As long as you have applied all the updates as well as the ones that are issued up to and including this Thursday, you will be at the final version by Friday.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
