SharePoint - Upgrade Classic Content DB 2010 to Claims Web Application 2013

Just as reminder for me, when you need to attach a content database that come from a SharePoint 2010 web application with Classic Mode Authentication Schema to a SharePoint 2013 web application that use claims (default) authentication, after the attach (that can be done either with powershell or the oldstyle (ed) stsadm.exe) you need to convert users from classic to claims.

This can be done with this PS command:

Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity  http://webappurl.with.fqdn -To Claims -RetainPermissions -Force

even if the web app is already in claims auth.
