I have dual boot on my laptop: - Windows 7 with Ubuntu 13.10 installed alongside.

How do I upgrade my ubuntu installation to 14.04 without affecting the Windows installation?

  • Not a duplicate. I know how to upgrade in the normal fashion. I have never upgraded alongside an already installed Windows 7 – user273284 Apr 23 '14 at 20:40

    Yup. None that I have seen give details of what I am looking for. I wish to upgrade by method of a fresh install of 14.04 over the top of the 13.10 installation without affecting the Windows 7 install. I guess it will be in the something else option but I am unsure exactly what i should be doing. – user273284 Apr 23 '14 at 20:49

    Please edit your question above. Clearly indicate what you have said in the comments. You should get an option to upgrade in the install menu See http://i.stack.imgur.com/QB7SV.png. It should not affect Windows. – user68186 Apr 23 '14 at 20:53

If you are installing using a live USB, installing 14.04 in the 13.10 partition will not affect your windows. If you are using this method (works also for 14.04 final) http://itsfoss.com/upgrade-ubuntu-1404-beta-1310/ It should also not affect your windows. Your windows will be affected if you install ubuntu on Window's partition
