You can upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04 in two ways:

By using the Updater application, or using the of commands.Ubuntu 17.04

Whichever way you choose to upgrade will have the same end result: your system will run with Ubuntu 17.04.

Select the tab ''
At the point that says 'Notify me of a new Ubuntu version'

If you do not want to wait, open the terminal and run the following command:
