Upgrading Fedora-KDE from 32 to 36


I want upgrade Fedora-32-KDE from 32 to 36.
I'm upgrading on a HP-Windows10 computer.
I did a upgrade to 32 a number of years on this computer, And I have totally forgot how to do it to a Windows10 dual-boot.
Fedora is on drive b: and I do not want to replace my /home directory I Just want reinstall the /root directory. I just don't want to lose any files, Settings in /home.
Where can I find some Instructions on the Internet on how to do this, it has been so long ago, and I just forgot how to do it.

If you do not have your /home on a separate partition from /root and its other subdirectories, I doubt that you will be able to upgrade, especially considering the distance from Fedora v. 32 to v. 36. If that is the case, you will need to back up the contents of /home to external media and install new. Even if you do have a separate /home partition, it would be wise to back up the contents of /home in any event, because stuff can always go wrong in an upgrade.

Here's a Fedora article on upgrading: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...ocs/upgrading/ As Fedora v. 32 reached end of life almost a year ago, see particularly the section titled "Can I upgrade from an End Of Life (EOL) release?"
