Upgrading device express 4k to ultra 2024

If I upgrade my Roku to the new Ultra 2024 will there be a way for all the settings to be passed to the new Ultra 2024?  I'm not sure what settings I made but want them to be exactly the same on the new player.  Are the settings saved locally or with my sign on profile?  If not how can I pass the settings to the new Ultra 2024?

    Hello

    When upgrading to the Roku Ultra 2024, your settings may not automatically transfer over unless you use the same Roku account. Roku saves preferences like channels, language settings, and display options under your account profile, so signing in to the new device with the same account should restore most of these settings.

    However, any specific settings like Wi-Fi configurations, personalized app arrangements, or system settings may need to be manually adjusted after the upgrade. Roku doesn’t typically back up device-specific configurations like HDMI ports or display preferences, so you may need to set those up again.

    For the most seamless transition, ensure that your Roku account is connected, as this will sync your channel subscriptions and preferences.

    Any settings you make on a Roku device under the "Settings" selection on the Home Screen are specific to that device.  There's no way to copy them to another device.

      Ok. In leu of that is there a Roku Settings tree map that I can use to search for and note every important configuration setting to make sure it is moved to my new ultra?
