My Ubuntu 10.10 is not supported. How do I totally get rid of 10.10 and go to a new version?

Question

I have Ubuntu 10.10. Commands aren't working. I can't install anything. Ubuntu Software Center won't load. And other programs won't either. How do I get the newest version of Ubuntu and totally get rid of the Ubuntu 10.10? Do I have to use a CD or something? My objective is to get rid of Ubuntu 10.10 and use all 64GB on a higher version of Ubuntu. I have other laptops that are Lubuntu 15.04 and I can get things to work on those. What should I do?

UPDATE: I AM NOW DECIDING THAT I AM GOING TO GET A USB FLASH DRIVE AND DOWNLOAD UBUNTU TO IT. I FOUND A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOWS ME HOW TO DO IT. I UNDERSTAND IT. I AM GOING TO GET UBUNTU 14.04(WHATEVER THE NEWEST LTS IS) AND PUT OR ON MY PC. I WILL AT IT UP SO THE NEW UBUNTU WILL TOTALLY WIPE OUT THE OLD UBUNTU, SO THE NEW OS TAKES UP ALL THE HARD DRIVE SPACE.

Ubuntu 10.10 Has been EOL for years. I think the best option is to download the LTS, version 14.04, and install it via CD/DVD. Upgrading via this one, is not gonna work. — blade19899, Oct 21 '15 at 13:39

Backup your data and see How do I install Ubuntu? for how to install a new version.

As 15.10 will be released tomorrow I'd rather install that (supported until July 2016) or 14.04LTS (supported until April 2019) then 15.04 (supported until January 2016).
