Dear Mr. King, It's best to wait until the 'official' update which will come when the first point release (16.04.1) is made available. This will occur on July 21, 2016. I myself will wait a few days after that before updating as the servers will probably be overloaded with everyone trying to update at the same time.
I always recommend downloading and burning to a disc (or transferring to a USB drive) that point release PRIOR to actually updating, just in case something goes wrong (and that has happened to me). By preparing an installation medium, you can effect a re-installation with the new release. (On July 21, it will be much faster if you download the new release via a Torrent.) ALWAYS make sure you have backed up EVERYTHING to an external hard drive PRIOR to upgrading the operating system. That way, if something does go wrong, you will still have all of your folders, files, etc. and they can be transferred to your new fresh installation (if that is required). I also make a list of all of my extra installed programs (it is not necessary to list those which are installed by default) and I also create a screenshot of all of my extra PPAs so I can easily add them as well. In my case I make my program list on paper but one could also create an ODT or PDF document. Either way, with a list of these programs and a list of the PPAs, it is easy (if a bit time-consuming) to restore your computer to the state you had previously. I hope this helps you.
