Ubuntu Upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04

Almost three weeks ago, as per my previous post, I posted a blog on how I was prompted to upgrade the Ubuntu OS from 15.04 to 16.04. The decision then was upgrade based on the various dialogs that would pop up and basically suggest an upgrade.

Unfortunately, the upgrade process never executed as I had expected - there was simply little to no action on the screen.I never had an opportunity to determine the root cause of the problem.

So, today I thought it was time again I resolved this upgrade issue. To ensure there was some level of success in doing so, I googled for some references on the internet. The link below seemed to be simple, straight forward and lightweight: http://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-ubuntu-15-10-to-ubuntu-16-04/

In summary, I followed all the steps and ended up with an upgraded laptop:

Regrettably I did not time the entire operation, suffice to mention that for internet connectivity I was using a wifi connection from an LTE router in LTE mode. The process was not too shabby time wise and effectively was smooth.

Upon completion I had a fully upgraded system as diaplayed below:

I do not foresee upgrading in the near future. Needless to say, I did not mention the merits of the new upgrade, I think there is enough material on the internet to refer to.  On that note, now I will enjoy the the new OS and experiment with some of its new features.
