+With Drupal 9 almost being end-of-life and unsupported, I've recently been doing a lot of Drupal 9 to 10 upgrade work.
+
+As it's a major version update, there are breaking changes that mean you may need to change your code.
+
+Here's an example of an error caused by a breaking change:
+
+> Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryException: Entity queries must explicitly set whether the query should be access checked or not. See Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryInterface::accessCheck(). 
+
+To fix this, you need to call the `accessCheck()` method before executing a query and specify whether it should be checked.
+
+But how do you know if it should be checked?
+
+If you have automated tests that pass beforehand and still pass afterwards, you picked the correct option.
+
+If the test passes before and fails afterwards, you found the bug and can fix it immediately to ensure the functionality works as before.
