Transfer VM from VBox 4.3 to 5.0?

Hi

I consider to upgrade VBox from 4.3.30 to ver 5.0.8 and wonder if there is something special to think of?
Little information about this kind of transfer in the manual what I can see and nothing in FAQ or did I miss some section?

Anyway things works well so far. Run Windos XP and Windows 7 and have older MBP from late 2008 with 8 GB RAM.
Also a Mac mini mid 2011 with 16 GB RAM. Run OS X 10.10.5 on both so far.

Should be safe to upgrade right?

Run the VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool first. Then just install 5.0.8. Don't forget to install the 5.0.8 extension pack and update the guest additions for your guests.

The uninstall tool I get from the package for 4.3.30 I guess. Need to download that again.
And you say that the VM from before should work well under ver 5.0.8?
