Upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.10 In a few steps

Want to know how to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.10? This is what we want to talk about.

Canonical will not force 14.04 users to upgrade to the intermediate version 14.10.

But that doesn't mean you cannot upgrade your rock-solid Trusty Tahr to (somewhat impressive) Utopic Unicorn.

To receive Ubuntu release notifications for non-LTS versions, you need to select from the software and update tools. This is very straightforward.

• Open 'Software and Update'
• Select 'update'
• Go to the 'notify me when there is a new version of Ubuntu 'option
• In the drop-down menu, change 'for long-term supported versions' to 'for any version'

After switching, you will want to update it quickly.

Ready now! At this moment, the "Upgrade" prompt will pop up for users (which is often delayed compared with common ISO images) to update to 14.10 through the software update tool.
