I keep my OS images smaller than "16 GB" and use small, dedicated 
devices to hold them (primarily 60 GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD's).  (I install 
2.5" SATA3 trayless drive racks in my desktops and servers.)  The vast 
majority of my data is on HDD's in RAID in a file server.

To do an OS major version upgrade, I would check-in the OS configuration 
files, backup the OS filesystem(s), pull the OS device, insert a blank 
device, do a fresh install to the new OS, update the OS, check-out the 
old configuration files into a working directory, restore the data, and 
configure the new OS.  When done, I would check-in the OS configuration 
files, backup the OS filesystems(s), and take a raw image of the new OS 
device.
