I was a bit worried about odd stuff like old Java versions I need for compatibility reasons and numerous development and network tools. Moreover, my work machine is a domain member and sits behind a HTTP-Proxy.
It turned out to be the most painless upgrade ever:
- Download the GetWin10 tool from Microsoft and run it.
- After a while it asked me if I wanted to keep my apps and data. Yes, of course!
- All of that took less than an hour and then some to recognize my external monitor.
- Another round of Windows and "Store" updates
- Run "iexplore.exe" from the command line and keep it in the task bar
- Remove Edge from the task bar. (Sorry, Edge just doesn't feel right for me, yet)

That's it. If I find any problems, I'll list them down below.
PS: If you're behind a proxy, you have to let the "metro-world" know about that. In an Admin-CMD shell, type:
netsh.exe winhttp import proxy source=ie
Otherwise windows activation will fail.
