It's much faster to run the two mentioned commands than to perform the complicated task of copying files from many directories to the new system and probably ending up with a corrupted package database. My advice: keep it simple and run apt update & apt upgrade. – mook765 Nov 09 '23 at 17:11
The apt upgrade command changes various files in various folders not only for the operating system but also for the installed applications. So, finding out exactly which files were "updated" is not simple.
