don’t need to keep anything in mind, except backup first and BE SURE to
follow one of the documented, approved and recommended how-tos:

oh, and VERY important: did i mention to backup FIRST (because upgrade
are prone to failures, and if you have a good, off machine, backup you
then have an excellent chance of not losing any data, and you can then
do a format and install, flow the old data back in and away you go…

The most important detail: full backup. The second: Try it first, in the
same machine if possible.
