The best place would be the release notes, I guess. Right at the beginning here:
E.3.2. Migration to Version 13
A dump/restore using pg_dumpall or use of pg_upgrade or logical replication is required for those wishing to migrate
datafrom any previous release. See Section 18.6 for general information on migrating to new major releases.
We could mention that pg_upgrade works across the supported major versions.
