Hi, I am fairly new to FreeNAS and currently have v9.10.2U1 running. I would like to try v10 and I'm looking for help with the following:

1. If I install v10 on a new flash drive, will it automatically see my data/volume?
2. If I decide to roll back for any reason can I power power off, swap flash drives, and boot up using 9.10? Would it be that simple?

I have a copy of all data so a "worst case scenario" of losing data isn't a big deal. I found a lot of information about upgrading but nothing specifically to help with these questions.

Thanks!

Automatically no. Once you import your pool yes.
2. If I decide to roll back for any reason can I power power off, swap flash drives, and boot up using 9.10? Would it be that simple?
Yes as long as your pool is the same ZFS version.
