Download Ubuntu 20.10
Sounds good — but where to download it from?
Note: the Ubuntu 20.10 desktop image is a whopping 2.9GB in size so do make sure you're on a decent connection (i.e. not a mobile tether) before you hit the download button!
Ubuntu 16.10 Upgrade To 18.04
When the download completes you need write the Ubuntu 20.10 .iso image to a USB stick using a tool like Etcher. Then pop the USB in an empty port, reboot your computer, and choose to boot from the USB.
The rest is pretty straightforward; follow the instructions on your screen.
You don't have to download and install Ubuntu 20.10 though. You can upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10 from 20.04. This is easier way to try the release than starting afresh, especially if you have a lot of files or bespoke app settings.
