An Ounce of Prevention

For a change, I want to proceed with a tad of caution 
rather than follow Don't RTFM - Wing That Sucker.

I have an old Jessie running:

Linux debian.localdomain 3.16.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.59-1 (2018-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

...and it has been borne in on me that my kernel needs to 
be retired. This old Jessie dates back to the Bad Old Days 
of the systemd wars and has no systemd onboard. I am of a 
mood though to take a Great Leap Forward and install 
Stretch -- systemd 'n all.

My untutored instinct is to go through my apt sources.list 
and replace every instance of 'jessie' with 'stretch,' and 
leave the rest up to apt-get, but I thought YOU SHOULD ASK 
ON THE LIST FIRST BOB.

Full disclosure: I have not kept up. Are there resources, 
wikis, etc, dedicated to Upgrading Debian For Dummies?

All input will be graciously accepted.

Thank you
