I think the others have mostly covered this but: 

Do the update to Buster - take it as slow as you need to. Bring it bang
up to date.

For the Buster to Bullseye -

READ RELEASE NOTES :)

Use apt.

Change sources list. https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

apt update

apt upgrade 

[That will upgrade any services / packages that can be upgraded 
in place without compromising anything else.]

apt full-upgrade

[Which will do the final upgrade and sort otu the warning messages about 
distribution has changed etc.]

Good luck, should be relatively straightforward.
