So, I would like to change the POP one to IMAP and obviously don't

I just did that recently; pretty easy...
First backup your profile folder, just in case.
Then ensure all messages you want saved locally are in folders in the
Local Folders.
Disable automatic message download for the POP account.
Go to the webmail page for the provider and ensure IMAP is enabled. Look
up the server settings for IMAP.
Open a new account in Thunderbird for the IMAP account. Test it.
Delete the POP account from Thunderbird.
Many thanks to the sage advice. All seems to be okay with IMAP
