Hello,
please help, I have no idea what and how todo ;-)

Currently Version 8.4.14 is installed.

after upgrading to 8.4 I run the command pve8to9 and one fail and 4 warnings issued:
WARN:
- The matching CPU microcode package 'intel-microcode' could not be found! --> quite easy
- System booted in uefi mode but grub-efi-amd64 meta-package not installed, new grub versions will not be installed to /boot/efi! Install grub-efi-amd64.
- Removable bootloader found at '/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi', but GRUB packages not set up to update it!
Run the following command:
echo 'grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true' | debconf-set-selections -v -u
Then reinstall GRUB with 'apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64'
- The matching CPU microcode package 'intel-microcode' could not be found! Consider installing it to receive the latest security and bug fixes for your CPU.
Ensure you enable the 'non-free-firmware' component in the apt sources and run:
apt install intel-microcode
Shall I run the commands as suggested?

FAIL: systemd-boot meta-package installed. This will cause problems on upgrades of other boot-related packages. Remove 'systemd-boot' See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9#sd-boot-warning for more information.
The tool proxmenux suggest to enter 2 commands to fix it:

Fix systemd-boot: apt install systemd-boot-efi systemd-boot-tools -y && apt remove systemd-boot -y
Fix disk space: apt clean && apt autoremove -y && journalctl --vacuum-time=7d

I'm very afraid to todo it, so please help:
