Read the release notes for bullseye.
Change /etc/apt/sources.list to suit.
Upgrade buster to bullseye - reboot.
Check with apt as to anything that you should autoremove.
Read the release notes for bookworm
Change /etc/apt/sources.list to suit
Upgrade bullseye to bookworm
Reboot and check for autoremovals
[There's two sets of changes to /etc/apt/sources.list necessary to
accommodate changes to bullseye security and bookworm non-free-firmware
but you won't know that unless you read the release notes]

That depends on owner and group problem extent. If you're not sure,
then the wise thing is to spin up a virtual machine or some such and
check what the groups are on the new system *first* then match your
old modified system to the new model? It's probably not worth trying
to upgrade and still being unsure.
