I gave you the link for the official way of doing it:

  https://centos.org/download/


Click on the "CentOS Stream" purple bit at the top, then on the '8'
purple bit. Then scroll down to "Converting from CentOS Linux 8 to
CentOS Stream 8". If your machine hasn't been updated for a while, you
might need to add '--allowerasing' to the comand line to swap the
distros.

If it doesn't work, then please let the list know any error messages so
someone can help you.
