You can upgrade inside of Ubuntu.

To do that, press Alt + F2 and run the following command:

update-manager -d

You should see a window similar to this:

Click on the 'Upgrade' button and start the upgrading process.

You could try sudo do-release-upgrade

This opens the update manager and at the top there will be a message asking if you want to upgrade.

Once connected to the internet simply search update manager from the dash and Ubuntu should tell you that a "new release" is available and you should be able to go from there. If this does not happen, try restarting and follow the same steps again. hope this helps, Ross
