Upgrade Fedora 24 to the new Fedora 25

The new system Fedora 25 was released on November 22 2016, and brings all the latest versions of the operating and kernel.

For those of you looking to upgrade your old Fedora 24 system to the new Fedora 25, Fedora Ambassador Justin W. Flory has posted a nice tutorial on how to do it without reinstalling it from scratch by deleting the .fedora 25

Here's how to upgrade to the new Fedora 25 through the GNOME Software manager or DNF package manager.

Let's first look at the easy way:

Open GNOME Software from GNOME Shell , go to tab, and upgrade to Fedora 24 by following the on-screen instructions.

Upgrade from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 with DNF

If you are a Fedora power user you can do it by DNF Upgrade plugin. The upgrade process from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 is pretty simple, but you need to run a few commands on the terminal.

First of all, make sure that the Fedora 24 software you are using is up to date and that you have a backup of your most important files and settings.

You will then need to install the DNF Upgrade plugin using the first command listed below. After installation, you can start upgrading with the second command.

 dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=25

When all the packages are down, you have to restart your system, no matter what method you used. Upgrading the system will continue and it will take a few minutes to complete. If you experience any problems, you can ask for help Fedora community or the wiki page of the project, referring to the paragraph ” DNF system upgrade. "
