This is the correct way IMO. "Uploading" your mind to a computer is making a clone/copy, but the original dies the same.

I think the only way we know it is us for sure is if we are conscious in both the original and clone at the same time. Like... okay... I know this is me in the new brain, I'll shut down the other one.
