I recently started playing cyberpunk, I downloaded it from dodi and now i've noticed in one month or so, cyberpunk will receive a major update so I will need to reinstall the game with the update. How can I keep my save?

Well, the easiest way to find where the save files are located is to check out pcgamingwiki.

This actually worked, thank you. I've located the save files now. Now what, I copy it and (in case the reinstallation of the game deletes those files) just paste it?

Yes, backup save and config files, and restore them in case of the reinstallation, but generally games rarely delete them when you uninstall them. This approach works almost with every game.
