That's how I do it, just as the on-line instructions say. I'm not doing
a new installation.

I hope you're correct! What I originally said was merely a personal
impression. Perhaps "problems" was not the best word to use.
Additional info., if it's relevant:
My pre-upgrade back-up backs up user data only (with one exception), and
only what the users (me) directly, deliberately create/modify. The
exception: I back up only one hidden directory created by applications:
.thunderbird. No systems files are backed up; I don't have the space
and time.
One possible concern is intentional changes, improvements, that could
cause problems or break things if I don't know about them in advance,
and therefore don't properly prepare. Since my last upgrade (to f30, in
October), I've noticed changes in my grub menu. The dracut entry
disappeared. Another emergency entry disappeared. One of two windows-7
entries no longer works. That's one example of what I'm concerned
about. The change in Thunderbird in the last upgrade caused me a lot of
trouble. I wonder if there was something I could/should have done
beforehand that would have avoided that.
Bill.
