so have a little bit of fear about jumping from 9.x to 10.x, and possibly

I don't know what you know I guess, but it should work following these
instructions:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

or these:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html

or these:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/installation.html

It is probably wise to make a backup and do a test first.
