Where practical I prefer to clone the drive and upgrade the clone,
then work on the issues while using the old OS on the original
drive and finally clone the upgrade drive over when everything's
working right (after doing a backup of the old one just in case I
was wrong). So there's no deadline as such, just the annoyance of
needing to note when new software is installed during use so the
same can be done on the upgrade drive.

I often have trouble with things getting unintentionally
uninstalled.
