Don't "upgrade".  Don't discard apps or OSs until you decide you like 
the new better than the old.  Once while searching for the insertion 
time of a bug I had twenty SM versions available to run.

Install the new alongside to old.  Create run objects for as many 
versions as you chose to maintain.  Have -Profilemanager as the 
parameter.  Activate the run object and Profilemanager will open. 
Select the profile for that secession.

My profile tree has since early Netscape been:
I:\Profiles\profile1
I:\Profiles\profile2
I:\Profiles\profile3
I:\Profiles\profile4
I:\Profiles\profile5

The above are a mix of OS/2 SM, FF, Win SM, FF, Pale Moon, Foosa,,,.

To move a profile, copy it to your choice location, open profilemanager, 
take it by the hand to the copied location, and tell SM to use it.  When 
that works, delete the original.
