A destructive mind upload is truly you according to buddhism

[Magical Apple]

According to buddhism an individuals existence is determined by 5 constantly changing aggregates:

1. "form" or "matter"[note 2] (Skt., Pāli रूप rūpa; Tib. གཟུགས། (gzugs); Ch. 色 (sè)): matter, body or "material form" of a being or any existence.[5][13] Buddhist texts state rupa of any person, sentient being and object to be composed of four basic elements or forces: earth (solidity), water (cohesion), fire (heat) and wind (motion).[3]
2. "sensation" or "feeling" (Skt., Pāli वेदना vedanā; Tib. ཚོར་བ། (tshor ba); Ch. 受 (shòu)): sensory experience of an object.[3] It is either pleasant, unpleasant or neutral.[note 3][note 4]
3. "perception"[note 5] (Skt. संज्ञा saṃjñā, Pāli सञ्ञा saññā, Tib. འདུ་ཤེས། ('du shes); Ch. 想 (xiǎng)): sensory and mental process that registers, recognizes and labels (for instance, the shape of a tree, color green, emotion of fear).[13]
4. "mental formations" (Skt. संस्कार saṃskāra, Pāli सङ्खार saṅkhāra, Tib. འདུ་བྱེད། ('du.byed); Ch. 行 (xíng)): "constructing activities",[13] "conditioned things", "volition", "karmic activities"; all types of mental imprints and conditioning triggered by an object.[14][15][note 6] Includes any process that makes a person initiate action or act.[13]
5. "consciousness" (Skt. विज्ञान vijñāna, Pāli विञ्ञाण viññāṇa, Tib. རྣམ་ཤེས། (sna'i rnam par shes pa); Ch. 識 (shí)): "discrimination" or "discernment"[note 7]. Awareness of an object and discrimination of its components and aspects, and is of six types, states Peter Harvey.[13] The Buddhist literature discusses this skandha as,
   1. In the Nikayas/Āgamas: cognizance,[16][note 8] that which discerns.[17][note 9]
   2. In the Abhidhamma: a series of rapidly changing interconnected discrete acts of cognizance.[note 10]
   3. In some Mahayana sources: the base that supports all experience.[note 11]

A proper mind upload will preserve mental formations in the form of the connectome and ability to perceive and then re-create your consciousness. Form and sensation can be re-created either through virtual input or manipulation of an avatar. Buddhist death is the dissolving and eventual migration of the 5 aggregates. If the majority of these aggregates are preserved and transferred across substrate you are most certainly reincarnated in said substrate.
