yeah thats fine, you can even use new water. just use the same substrate and filter off the 10g and your good to go.
I'd be really careful of cleaning the inside of the new aquarium with water from the 10g. Make sure to use the substrate and everything from the old aquarium.
Now having said that, how successful this move is depends on what kind of fish you plan on moving.

You could use some of the water and substrate from the 10 gal. That would be the best way to jumpstart the cycle in your 29g.If I had to guess, I would say that the filter on your 10g would be inadequate for the 29g. You will most likely need to purchase a larger filter.

Ditto.... you'll need a bigger filter.
