It is damaged at the bottom but healthy at the top. It has been growing in the original pot for over 10years.

Since it is already damaged, I would try planting it deeper in a new pot. Worth a try, but if someone else has more experience, go with their ideas! -

The pot should be twice the size width and depth of the root ball.Make sure the container has drainage holes and use only cactus soil -

I would rather take some weight off the cactus and plant as is and re-root the top part.............. -

You may just need to take a cutting and start a new cactus plant:https://www.dbg.org/sites/dbg.dd/files/rooting_a_cactus_cutting.pdf -
