Sounds like you need to download pretty much everything ever written on mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine. That info dump would also have to include a bunch of stuff that hasn’t even been invented yet, and probably won’t be within the next 500 years.
Once you have all that in your mind, you’ll be incredibly frustrated that modern day technology is at least 500 years away from what you actually need. You would need to build a bunch of quantum electronics fabrication factories so that you can build the real factories that actually produce the machines you need for assembling the very first brain reading and recording machine.
Although, since you have all that revolutionary science and tech in your head, you should use that to fix global warming, world hunger, cancer and a bunch of other stuff so that you can raise the trillions of capital needed for building the main project.
Our brains must be augmented with tech first, then uploads are trivial.
Start with a calculator, learn how to manipulate it and read it like proprioception. At some point we have an LLM on a chip in our head and updates to that update our consiousness.
That sort of tech would open some really interesting doors. If the human mind is augmented in one way or another, it becomes difficult to tell where the human part ends and machine begins.
Once you take that to its logical conclusion, you being to ask questions like, what’s the difference between a human mind and a machine mind. Is there a meaningful difference?
You could augment a human mind with machine parts, live your normal life and continue to augment more and more as your organic cells gradually die over the course of several decades. Once the last organic bits die of old age, there’s nothing but machine left and your transition to a digital life form is complete.
The ability to make an ability uploading tool.

I suspect it’ll be the other way around.
