To use Smart Switch follow the steps

1. Go to Samsung's Smart Switch website and download for Windows or macOS.

Also download Smart Switch in your phone.

2. Install and open Smart Switch on your
computer and connect your phone via its USB cable.

3. If you haven't plugged in to your computer before, tap Allow on the pop-up on your phone to give it access.

If Smart Switch doesn't recognize the
phone, click the menu in Smart Switch
and click Reinstall device driver then
restart.

4. After a few moments, your phone will be
recognized by Smart Switch and you'll see
several options on the main screen for
backing up and restoring. You do not need
to back up or restore your phone to initiate
an update.

5. A software check is performed when you
plug in, and Smart Switch will list your
current software details. If there is a
software update available for your phone,
you'll be notified on the main screen.

6. If available, Click Update to install the latest software. It will download first to your computer, then sideload to your phone.
The phone will reboot, and the process
will take roughly 10 minutes.

Is this okay to do?

Updating through Smart Switch downloads the whole firmware with the new updates. This ensures less bugs in the update.
And compared to OTA updates it has massive download size.

For precaution do keep a backup.
Although this never failed, atleast for me.

Thank you.
