This should help: How to: Upgrade an ASP.NET Web Application to ASP.NET 4. You shouldn't have any issues. Personally I'd try it in a local or test environment first.

No, basically. When I last changed from 2.0 to 4.0 on an app-pool, we needed subtle but critical changes to configuration files (in particular), but ultimately any part of the runtime could have feature changes that break existing code on some edge cases.
