Hi John, thank you for that input.
It could be that the code I wrote here:

Should be updated so every time you install a new R version, you run the
code for it to:
1) copy all packages from the old R version to the new R version library
2) update all the packages.

But I have no clue how to do step 1.

I've a clue but not the exact syntax for doing it:

a) you need to get the library directory path of your current
installation or if putting it manually;
b) list.files(path = '<path to your libraries>')
select the directories with the return of file.info();

I've been educated that all above (a - b) can be obtained in a single object with a call to library().

> libs <- library()

libs$results[,"Package"] will contain the list of installed packages.

c) save the list for processing in the newer R version;
d) in the newer version you use the list as argument to
install.packages().

All the aforementioned /caveats/ about packages not in CRAN still apply.
. .
