As long as there is potential as warned, a fresh install would be wise.
Thanks @Jerry for quick reply.  I think I will take your advice and do a fresh install.  Thanks also for all your work in developing a great product in Linux Lite, it's a great operating system to use on such an old laptop, so fast and light. It's miles ahead of Windows.

I have a multi-boot setup on an old DELL Vostro 1520 (BIOS setup) with Linux Lite 3.0 in charge of grub, which works well. 

I would like to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 but have a couple of questions before I do this...

I read on the Release Announcement page that the Lite Upgrade won't do: New Grub config (potential to ruin peoples existing multi-boot setups)

Does this mean that if the upgraded Linux Lite is NOT in charge of grub menu it won't boot?  (so same behavior as 3.0)

Would I need to do a fresh install of 3.2 to get the NEW  multi boot with other distros functionality?

I'm guessing fresh install is the answer but I'm not entirely sure so any advice would be appreciated.
