In Place upgrade from Gemini to Acquarius - [SOLVED]

I know that there has been a lot on this topic.  I normally do a clean install of Q4os, but this time I decided to do an in place upgrade from Gemini to Acquarius unti the next time there is a major LTS (beyond Andromeda  I followed the instructions on the attached screenshot from the Q4os team (l

I had a massive upgrade.  When I typed in get-q40s-version in the terminal, it returned "5.10-deb12u1".  The next day chrome and firefox updated, but since then (10 days) no further updates.  When I type sudo apt update I am told everything is up to date, but I get the following two notes:

N: Repository 'Debian bookworm' changed its 'firmware component' value from 'non-free' to 'non-free-firmware'
N: More information about this can be found online in the Release notes at: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookwor … free-split

My question is two-fold. 

(1) Are these notes an issue?  The debian website says to use "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib" in the 20_debian.list file  and omit the "non-free"  Is this keeping me from receiving updates?

(2) In doing the in place upgrade, I finished up with sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt autoremove, sudo apt autoclean, sudo apt clean.  I just saw an article saying I have to use "sudo apt full-upgrade" instead.  Is this a problem?  Everything seems to work fine, except for two programs, which I reinstalled.

Thanks so much!

Ad 1.) Yes, you will not receive non-free updates
Ad 2.) It's no problem
If you want to add non-free, just edit "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/20_debian.list" file and add "non-free-firmware" to components line.
