Upgradation of Power bi Premium P2 to P3

The client is looking to buy a Power BI Premium P2 license and later wants to migrate to P3 if needed.  

1. Can P2 be upgrated/migrated to P3?

2. Can the workspaces be automatically migrated to the new capacity after upgrade?

 

Please share if any details(pre-requisites/limitations..etc) about this.

My understanding is that Power BI Premium comes with dedicated storage and compute. Really, the Px instances are how much compute and memory you have. So, since data and compute are separate, you would simply add the P3 license and remove the P2 license. Now you have swapped out how much compute you have, the data stays in place, no migration. This is my understanding of it.
