Santander 123 to Edge current + Edge Saver

Wondering if anyone can clarify/confirm? I recently got my annual 123 statement and it is just a breakeven situation so ...
I'm planning on changing the joint account 123 to a joint Edge Current Account, basically just changing the name and everything else (ac number etc etc) remains the same as I understand it.  Then open an Edge Saver also jointly.
Is this fairly straightforward, as simple as doing the above for a single account holder?
Also, would that mean I can have £8k in the Edge Saver earning the 7% AER?

Thanks

    Easy to do from within the app. Apply for the edge current account and the app gives you the choice to change an existing account to it.
    Edge saver accounts are only available as solo accounts, but as you will have a joint current account you can both have a saver account.

    Change it to a Edge up account and you increase the rate of lnterest received on your balance.fee increased to £5
    Then open a Edge account but don't meet the criteria for beening charged the fee and open a Edge Saver also there was a offer on the MSE site if you followed the link you would eventually receive a £10 gift card
    £10 = 0,25% bonus on £4000
