Can I clone a copy of my version of elasticsearch with the addons (e.g. Marvel) and deploy it to anothe VM?

My future plan is:

1. Moving the elastic search to new infrastructure
2. Using a new copy, try updating to 6.0
3. Using a new copy, see if I can move from marvel to Xpack

hope someone can help

How would I go about doing this?

Would I copy all the files in the current elastic folder?
