I am not upgrading in place.
I currently have Debian 9.13 installed on one partition with /home on a
different partition.
I will install Debian 11.3 on a fresh partition and have /home remain on
its current partition.
I'm aware of cautions about upgrading in-place cf

Are there things to be aware of when using the same /home partition on
both?
Yes. This discussion has pointed out several things I wish I had been
aware of when I had done the original install.
Debian 11 will be installed on a different physical machine which has
much more physical disk space and an available SSD slot.
I will use a separate /home partition and take a look at possible
additional partitions while moving data piecemeal from this machine.
Thanks to all for some education.
