I have done over 50+ windows 10 upgrades on various configurations. This is my procedure:
Step 1. Backup the whole hard drive using Acronis True Image to an external USB hard drive on site. This include diagnostic partitions and others from the PC manufacturer.
Step 2. Run Windows 10 Upgrade program from the USB thumb drive.
Step 3. Customize and install additional programs as needed.
Step 4. Backup the image to my NAS for safe keeping for a short period, not more than two months.
Since you don't have that much data, may be a 64 (or 128) GB USB flash drive is enough to contain your data. You can get a 64 GB for under $30. Don't forget your data is priceless!
