Just a small comment: whenever upgrading, backup your essential data to USB or cloud storage or cd/dvd — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Oct 24 '14 at 01:05

It is always good practice to back-up your data! I suggest you do that in case anything goes wrong.

1) Open ‘Software & Updates’ 2) Select the ‘Updates’ tab 3) Locate section titled ‘Notify me of a new Ubuntu version’ 4) In the dropdown menu switch from ‘For long-term support versions‘ to ‘For any new version’ 5) open up a terminal by Ctrl+Alt+t and run an update sudo apt-get update Now just give a few minutes and you will be notify that you have an upgrade.
