While some people, myself included, are fans of clean install, that's 
more of an old die hard habit than good advice.  With Ubuntu, the update 
manager will outright notify you that a new version is available, and 
prompt you to press the big red button that must never be pushed... 
So,,, go ahead push it, and walk away.

(I don't think the button is actually red unless you have a strange 
theme going, but you get the idea.)
