Should one update SlakLive DAW (15.0) full installed to HD or should one re-install from newer isos?

HI!
I have just done a full install of slackware64-live-daw-15.0 from the installer on the iso to the HD of my computer and noticed that it has a generic-5.15.117 kernel.
Upon updating slackware64-15.0-iso on another machine I noticed kernels 5.15.139 are already available and I am unsure about what to do.

Which seems to guarantee one should be able to use slackpkg and update the packages, but not the kernel packages of course which would be downloaded and installed in another way.
Yet !
I am unsure about it since I think I have read something about using the newer isos.
After searching without finding what I think I might have seen, I found this which may have caused my confusion:

It does not suggest that one should use the isos instead of updating from https://slackware.nl/slackware/slack...ches/packages/.
But being guilt of all too many wrong assumptions I am asking just to be 100% sure.
Besides I have had the impression (don't know where I have got it from, too much reading) that DAW uses a kernel which is specially configured for audio and I am afraid that using the kernel from the stable repo might not be a good idea.

| Slackware Live Edition deviates as little as possible from a regular Slackware boot. Once you have passed the initial Liveboot stage and brought up the actual OS, you login as user live". From that moment onwards, you are in a regular Slackware environment. |
