Hi. I also went from K10D to a K-1, but 6 years ago.
Having two card slots is useful, although I find that no. 2 slot is easier to use. Remember firmware updates must be done in no. 1 slot. When shooting, the camera will use the card you set for priority first. You set the priority by inserting a card into one of the slots and turn the camera on. It will continue to use that slot first, unless you turn the camera on with a card only in the other slot.
Get used to using the Function dial/Setting dial. I find this very intuitive for setting exposure compensation and bracketing exposures.
The Control Panel, accessed by the INFO button is also great for changing other settings quickly without having to dive into the menus. You can change the items in the Control Panel so that it is personal to you.
If you use processing software with raw files, you will find you need much less sharpening than what you used with the K10D.
Enjoy your camera.
