There is no need to upgrade if it is working for you.
You should upgrade if you want to use PlasamC, or separate gantry homing if you have 2 motors driving the gantry.
Give us more details about the machine, electronics, etc.
Also wheezy is to old, but again, if it is working, keep using it.

I want to use PlasmaC and the new CNC i am building has its gantry driven by two stepper motors. The break out board i use is a cheap made in china board, the only name i could find for it online is 5 axis mach3 board, i am using TB6600 stepper motor drivers and nema 23 stepper motors.

Follow the steps there, just check if you have Wheezy or Stretch version of Debian installed.
