Clarification Needed on PostgreSQL Version Upgrade

Hello PostgreSQL Experts,

I have a question regarding PostgreSQL versions and would appreciate some clarification. We have two servers:

* CCFMG-apps05 - Windows Server 2019
* CCFMG-VP - Windows Server 2019

Both servers are currently running PostgreSQL version 14, while the latest version available is 16.1. My question is: if we upgrade to the newest version, will it cause any disruptions or errors in our work? Additionally, should we change or copy the database before proceeding with the upgrade?

Please let me know your recommendations.

Thank you.

Cordially,
