Subject: Tuning up an octave
I’d be worried snapping the strings on guitar. If I wasn’t moving too far up the fretboard I just put a capo atthe 12th fret

You gotta replace the regular strings with thinner ones. For example
you'd replace the 4th (D) string with what normally would be the 1st
string (E, close enough). And so on. So you end up with 3 1st strings
(positions 1, 4 and 6), 2 2nd strings (positions 2 and 5), and leave
the 3rd string alone, or whatever.
That's true in case you use some regular set for a 6 string guitar.
But you could also buy a set for a 12 string and use only the thinner
ones from the set.
The first method works, but it keeps a few strings tuned lower
which means lower tension, which means the 4th string is softer than
the 1st and the 6th, which means it's easier to push it out of tune.
