I recently upgraded a computer from 10 to 13.10.
The computer didnt recognize the thumbdrive and
I didnt have any other media so I had to do it all
via "upgrades".

I had no problems with the upgrades other than when I was all done
google chrome no longer worked nor could be reinstalled. Not a problem
since the user of that computer used ff anyway.

Your software sources will be edited.
I think there was the option to leave that alone but I went the other route.
Make a backup of your repos settings just in case.
