Should be relatively straghtforward - you need to check kernel revisions. You might find the simplest approach is to de-install 5.1 and install 5.5 cleanly. IIRC, the biggest change is the move to a centralised licensing server.
Latest for Linux is 5.7 SP01 P02 - I'd recommend going to the current version.

Check the PP release notes, especially the Known Issues section. Also check e-Lab Navigator from powerlink.emc.com. But PP 5.6 should be fine.
