3With all the changes to Ubuntu I highly advise a fresh install rather than upgrading. Otherwise you have to upgrade from 16.04 -> 16.10 -> 17.04 -> then 17.10. 16.10 is beyond end of life and upgrading to 16.10 is no longer supported. – Panther Oct 19 '17 at 14:25

This post looks helpful for doing the upgrade, but I agree with bodhi.zazen about starting fresh: Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 -> Ubuntu 17.10 upgrade?
Quick overview:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
-- REBOOT --
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Yes, but the OP is on 16.04, so they need to upgrade to 16.10 and 17.04 first. – Panther Oct 19 '17 at 14:45
