9.4.8 to 10.2.4 upgrade (partitions vs volumes)

Should I convert to volumes?if i were you, i would.

 

 

Going to volumes means that I can't go back to 9.x if there is a problem. Right?yes.

 

 

by the way, i think it would be useful to also prepare bootable usb thumbdrive and/or cdrom in case you have to do clean installation.

 

 

these are some known issue i found from askf5.
