Subject: [Motion-user] moving motion to a newer machine

I'm planning on moving motion to a newer pi and have a couple of
related questions. I have had a motion installation for a number of
years using a USB camera and it has been very limited in frame rate for
reasons I think I understand. All the machine does is run motion.
I now have an R Pi 3B+ that I can substitute for the old machine and
hope that might give me an upgraded frame rate. It presently has buster
on it, 32-bit I think (uname -m says armv71). So:
Q1 Would putting a 64-bit version of the OS on the machine be
worthwhile? And regardless, it it worth upgrading to a newer OS release?
Q2 Is armhf the correct version for 32-bit and arm64 presumably for 64?
It's been a long time since I installed it so I've forgotten most of
the procedure. I have some notes and have access to
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_build.html
Q3 I've copied /etc/motion from the old machine. Is there anything else
I need to keep/copy apart from those config files?
I know the config files have changed a bit but I expect I can figure
out how to transfer settings to the new installation.
Thanks for any advice.
