This mirrors my experience on one machine (an acer aspire one) where I 
installed 16.04 form scratch, while on my main laptop (upgraded from 15 
something) the upgrade button worked.

IIRC when I upgraded to 16.04 (or was it 15 something? I'm not really 
sure) I had a similar issue: the system didn't automatically install 
sddm but left the previous, non-functional, display manager.

No problem[*] here with nvidia, but I had manually installed nvidia-367 
prior to the upgrade (in fact I had it installed for a long time).
I know for a fact that it wouldn't automatically upgrade to that version 
in 16.04.

[*] apart from some visual artifacts with compositing enabled and some 
missing/incomplete letters on the lock screen, but those problems have 
always been there.
