Thank you.
well from 10.04 to 12.04 though there will be an upgrade path as already mentioned, it is big leap and a big leap of faith.
If i was you i would throughly check the hardware support first and run a Live CD/DVD or USB first or a seperate real install to test things first to make sure everything works fine.
Also in my opinion upgrades lend themselves to failure more readily than a clean install.
If you decide you want to to then IMO a backup of data and a clean install then a data restore would be the safest avenue.
however all IMHO.
