The problem is as follows: I have Elementary OS 5.1.7. Hera and consider upgrading to OS6. However, so far I have only found information that a direct in-place upgrade is not possible, only a complete reinstallation is planned. Is that true or is there a possibility to upgrade to OS6 in-place? Thank you ronny

I had the exact same question, and my question received a few answers, so you may want to read it once, I think.
How to update from Elementary OS 5.1.7 to Elementary 6
I have also created a discussion on GitHub: https://github.com/elementary/os/discussions/535
TL;DR
Till now, I have seen no options for in-place update like Windows and MacOS.
Sorry for disappointing, but I am also disappointed by this news that there are no in-place updates till now.
