Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 using Live CD

This method doesn’t require a internet connection. What you need is only a Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal CD. In case if you don’t have the CD you can very well create a bootable USB drive using the built-in Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator or using Unetbootin.

 

Now boot into the Live CD or pen drive. Choose upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04. Enter your username and password (what you have for Ubuntu 10.10) when prompted. That’s it.
