I can't find any f5 doc which suggest how to upgrade from v13.0 to v13.1.   Any help?

Hello flypast, This should be a normal & easy upgrade of uploading the image for 13.1 , confirm the integrity of the iso file by checking the md5sum , install the image to a new partition and change the boot location .

Most of the Time , both update and upgrade are used in the context of updating the software version to a newer one using the same VM . Upgrading by installing a new VM is considered a fresh installation.

 

If you don't want to increase the assigned resources to the BIGIP VE , i would go with the update procedure mentioned in the link.
