I tried to execute MKIV by typing in context hello.tex and got an error

What major changes to my documents will I likely need to make to shift to
MKIV?

- Font loading. Overall font loading is simpler, but you might need to adapt your typescripts (on occasions I have had to define \sc in terms of \addfontfeature, but I haven't checked if that is still needed).

- Regimes: MkIV assumes UTF-8.

- Headings: the setups for chapter and section stoppers and referencing has changed. You have much more flexibility now, but need to adapt your style files accordingly.

- Metapost: It is no longer possible to change the color of a label in metapost. (You can set it up at TeX level, so this is not a limitation...you just need to change the label commands).
