I'd like to move to the new raspberry pi because I need more performance. The current sd card I used on pi 2, ane now pi 3, and I'd like to ask if anyone tried running his pi 3 raspbian on pi 4 by just transferring the sd card. Pi 4 supports 64 bit, so I'm wondering whether there would be surprises.

Raspbian Stretch or earlier will not run on the Rpi4; a card containing Buster should work on all models.

Buster - the new version of Raspbian

The sd card could only just be transferred to the Pi4 if it had Raspbian Buster on it.

You will need to upgrade the operating system system to Buster before you will be able to boot it on a pi4. if you have a working pi3 this is not all that difficult.
