Personally, i would not update if everything is working properly, i still have plenty of machines running 10.04.
The main reason being, 10.04 uses RTAI kernel, while everything after Wheezy uses RT-Preempt kernel that is better suited to new PC's, so it might limit the step rate you can get/machine speed, sometimes a lot.

If you still want to move ahead, upload the old and the new configs here.
Usually the wizard will convert working configs form 2.5-2.7 to 2.8-2.9 without issues the first time you run the old config, so what happened? Does the machine have non standard ...something or anything?
Right click on the old .ini file, choose open with, type linuxcnc near the bottom of that window, click OK, what happens?
