I am Installing 22.04 as 24.04 seems to have couple of problems in installation. So, if I update it to newer version via Software Update feature, would I be able to get same experience as new Ubuntu version?

A clean or unclean install will make your system a new release; however a release-upgrade will keep some defaults from your actual installed release; as some users prefer that; so no a release-upgraded system will have differences to a fresh install.
By fresh install I include both
- clean (format; nothing remains of old install), and
- unclean (no format, data & settings remain from prior install).
The key difference (clean vs. unclean) is the re-install will erase system directories, so system settings are new for the re-installed system, but user settings only remain (where unclean is used).
Many users won't notice a difference between those though I suspect; but a re-install does give a new system, where a release-upgrade keeps some system defaults from prior releases (esp. dating back to your initially installed release).
