A copy wouldn’t be you. But sometimes sci-fi uses transferrence, where your consciousness isn’t just duplicated, it’s actually moved over to the new body/machine. See stuff like Ghost in the Shell.

I don’t think transferrance is all that realistic though. Making a digital copy is a more realistic thing.

Maybe if you handle it like the ship of Theseus? Replace a few cells and little brain function over a long time (so that the body can adapt) by some compatible future machine.
Maybe in the end you are a full cyborg, not just a cyborg copy.
