Will iOS upgrade kill my phone?

I have a refurb iphone 5 (not sure which version).
It's still on iOS 7.1.1.
Some of the apps such as iplayer now won't work unless I update the iOS but it will have to go straight to 10.1.1 which I don't think I can roll back if there are any problems.
Memory is saying capacity 13.3GB, available is 3.9 GB.
I don't use the storage much for music or books, and can transfer the photos elsewhere.
Any comments appreciated. (Other than get a new phone.)

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

I don't have an iPhone so this may not be too useful, but I recently upgraded a 1st gen iPad to iOS 9 (I think - the lastest update available for it) and there has been a noticeably negative effect on general performance.
Hopefully someone with an iPhone 5 will reply

10.1.1 is working fine here with a family with 4 iPhones from 5s upwards.
Mine is the 5s and I have had zero issues.0 -

I did my iPad Mini the other day, to 9.3.5, and haven't used it since. What sort of problems are you finding?
I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

iPhone 5 should run fine on iOS 10.1.1.
I use the Public Beta (iPhone 7 Plus) and iOS 10.2 seems slightly faster even though it's not been RTM just yet.
Some people like to turn things like animations off and notice a slight improvement in the general responsiveness.
