I need a simple guide to completely deleting Ubuntu 12.10 from my laptop in order to install the latest 20.04.2.0 LTS. I am not an IT fundi and I need a simple guide that I can follow.

    See https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop, and install 20.04 in the same drive 12.10 was installed. Note that your computer may not have the resources to smoothly run 20.04. In that case, use Xubuntu or Lubuntu instead. – Archisman Panigrahi Aug 22 '21 at 06:24
  • You don't delete a prior OS, you just install over it. – guiverc Aug 22 '21 at 06:28
  • Also FYI: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the 2020-April release of Ubuntu, it's the third latest release of Ubuntu (not the latest at all unless you only count LTS releases). – guiverc Aug 22 '21 at 06:30

    You asked the same question here a few hours ago and it was closed because there was already an answer. Please don't repeat questions. – graham Aug 22 '21 at 06:56

First of take a backup of all your important files and documents.

Then make a bootable pendrive drive of ubuntu 20.04 and boot your laptop with this pendrive via boot menu.

While installation you will be given a three options . In your case they will be like following...

  • install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS along with ubuntu 12.04
  • erase the disk and install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  • something else.

in your case you have to choose second option.

-- If you want to keep ubuntu 12.04 than try something else but in this case you have to manage your partitions..

Hope it will help you..
