How to update svn working from older branch to recent branch?

I'm using windows laptop.  We have remote repository in internet.  My subversion client is TortoiseSVN.  

From File Explorer, I right click to checkout svn revision 578 from older_branch.  I want to update my working copy to svn revision 897 of recent_branch.  Is that possible?  If yes, How?  When I invoke SVN Update, my working copy is updated to latest revision from older_branch.  I need to update this working copy to latest on recent_branch.

Another words, my working copy was checkedout from svn revision 578 of older_branch.  I need to update this working copy to svn revision 897 of recent_branch.

I can just delete my working copy and checkout latest svn revision from recent_branch.  Then, do I have to re-import this new checkout to my eclipse project or my eclipse project will be automatically synchronize with the new checkout?

Off topic: Based on my own old experience, I strongly recommend to switch to Git. Git implements also a bridge between SVN and Git; so, you can try it locally for yourself. Then the transition from SVN to Git can be kind of painless. Moreover, you can later decide not to migrate to Git (for whatever reason), and continue with your SVN.

See https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git for the details.

Experts suggested Git while back.  I plan to use it for my own projects but my company uses svn.
