Most of the time, the only supported method is to install (or upgrade to)
stable, and then upgrade to testing or unstable. The steps for that
are typically "edit sources.list, and then run apt update, and then run
apt full-upgrade", although the exact state of testing or unstable at any
given moment may require additional steps.
Right now, as we approach a new release, there may be an option to attempt
a direct installation of buster (currently testing) using a buster install
image. Doing so serves as an additional test of the buster installer,
which is far more likely to have show-stopping bugs than buster itself is.
