Thanks again to both of you!
If I want to switch from a pruned node to a full node, is it sufficient to execute a -txindex after fetching all blocks and I am a fully-fledged full node? Is it possible to check the status to ensure I became a full node? I just want to make sure that everything is fine afterwards.
Cheers!

No. You are a full node even if your node is pruned. Regardless, to use txindex with a pruned node, you would require a reindex as well. Hence, you would need to verify and rebuild your database again after executing it.
Hence, for a pruned node, you would be asked to reindex when enabling txindex. To check the progress of the txindex, or how far the txindex has progressed, you can execute getindexinfo. It should tell you about the progress of the txindex.
If your node isn’t pruned, then a reindex isn’t required. The txindex will be built in the background.
