Help on upgrading Laravel and using a template

Hi, I got a Bootstrap template (one of those classic "admin panel" stuff) that I want to use with my next project. However, it was built using Laravel 10.x. How would I approach upgrading to the latest Laravel version (11.x)?

Also, I want to use Breeze for user authentication purposes - and I'm not sure how to do that all at once. Should I just install a fresh version of Laravel and then c/p files from the template to it, and install Breeze as a last step or is there a better way to accomplish this?

@blackshtef I recently upgraded from Laravel 10 to 11 with shift which was very smooth.

Shift does everything and the only downside is it's paid!

If you don't want to pay, the only option I know is to follow the docs and process step by step manually.

Please keep in mind that it might take a couple of hours which is basically a trade-off!
