</span>You can't upgrade directly from 14.04 LTS to 17.10. The steps would be<br>
14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS -> 16.10 (*) -> 17.04 (*) -> 17.10. (*) These<br>
steps would be a bit tricky because the standard repos are no longer<br>
available and you have to adapt /etc/apt/sources.list. So IMHO for you<br>
the only useful way to get to 17.10 would be a new installation. Of<br>
course you could test this use case - the download of the iso image is<br>
1.6 GB (64-bit) or 1.7 GB (32-bit). IIRC you wrote some time ago that<br>
16.04 LTS wouldn't work with your dongle stick. So you should first try<br>
the live system and find out if 17.10 works with your hardware before<br>
you really do a new installation.<br>
<br>
OTOH please remember that 17.10 will only have 9 months support, so you<br>
shouldn't miss the next upgrade to 18.04 LTS next spring. If you don't<br>
want to do the next upgrade so soon or if you want to avoid a new<br>
installation, you may rather wait for 18.04 LTS because then the<br>
possible upgrade path will be 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS -> 18.04 LTS.<br>
