Kubuntu Complaint (sarcasm!) on New Install

[Raymond J Burke]

 I read what you mailed to me and noted it all, and are wondering about the
comment below-


"A conservative path forward would be:
Take a full disk image or sector-level clone of the Kubuntu disk. Do not
rely on Timeshift alone.
Disconnect all other OS drives before upgrading to avoid GRUB and UUID
conflicts.
Upgrade one LTS step at a time, from 18.04 to 20.04, then to 22.04, or do a
clean install of 22.04 or 24.04".

Because I want to keep my dual boot could I Upgrade one LTS step at a time,
from 18.04 to 20.04, then to 22.04, or do a clean install of 22.04 or 24.04,
that way I keep my dual boot parameters of the Grub2
