A PC wearing a Breastplate of Psychic Resistance(DMG, 152) wants to upgrade their amour to half plate while retaining the magical resistance.
Can a PC put on half plate armour and retain the magical properties of their original breastplate?
“Half plate consists of shaped metal plates that cover most of the
wearers body” PHB. 145
Example: Agar goes to an armorer and buys half plate. In the change-room (without taking off his breastplate) he puts on all the components of the half plate (except the plates that would cover his torso) he leaves. Does he still have psychic resistance?

Whether it is armor or a weapon is irrelevant. Please note that I could have closed it as a dupe with a single vote, but I didn't. Hence "possible" and I waited to see what others though. It appears that most others who have taken a peak do not think it's a dupe. Which is fine by me. Are you player or DM in this case?

@John Hey, don't quote me! :) But seriously, that's a different process. This question is asking if you can us part of one armor to make a different armor. I'm not seeing it's different just because it's also a magic armor. An identical question would be if OP asked about turning mundane half-plate into an armor of resistance.

Talk to your DM
There are no specific rules about armor types being converted from one to another and whether or not this is possible.
The Equipment lists seem to indicate that each one is it's own thing and thus suggests that they aren't additive or reductive in any RAW way.
Whether or not a DM will allow conversions like this, or how they'll make it work if they do, is up to them to decide.
