Upgrading with GUI
------------------
First, ensure your system is up-to-date by starting Software Updater and performing system updates:
- This can be done by clicking the Menu :menuselection:`System Tools --> Software Updater`.
- When prompted, click :guilabel:`Install Now`.
- After the install is completed you may be prompted to reboot. If not, reboot manually.

If you're not on a LTS (Long Term Support) release, you may have to opt in for non LTS versions of Lubuntu.
- Select the Updates -> Notify me of a new Ubuntu version -> For any new version, from Software and Updates.
- Close the update manager, and you should be prompted to upgrade to the latest release.
- Alternatively, you can start a terminal :kbd:`Ctrl + Alt + T` and type in the command
..code::
update-manager -d
The -d flag is referring to the fact that it's moving to an unsupported release (if you are on the LTS track, this is accurate).

- This can be done by clicking the Menu (Alt + F1) -> Preferences -> Software and Updates.
- You should be prompted to upgrade. Click upgrade.
- Read the release notes. **This is important, in case there is information you need to know.**
- Once the upgrade has completed, restart your machine.
