As a general rule, it’s always risky to try an upgrade from one major version to the next without reinstalling.
While progressively migrating your Raspberry Pi devices to Bookworm is a good idea, upgrading them directly from an older version to the latest one is not recommended, and probably not even necessary.
The general rule, when a new Debian or Raspberry Pi OS version is released, is to install it from scratch, then add the applications, and migrate the configuration and data from the previous system. This is the recommended way to do it.
In my experience, upgrading a desktop version of Raspberry Pi OS from Bullseye to Bookworm is not a good idea. Even if it looks good at first glance, there are many underlying bugs in the background.
In short, don’t try to upgrade an existing Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye installation to Bookworm directly. Installing a fresh version of Bookworm Desktop on a new media storage is highly recommended.
Disclaimer: While you can follow the steps listed in the next section to upgrade Raspberry Pi OS to the latest version, you do so at your own risk. Chances are that some packages will no longer work. You may also lose configurations or personal data in the process
