PreUpgrade is an application users run on an existing Fedora 8 or above installation, that resolves and downloads packages required to upgrade Fedora. While PreUpgrade downloads the necessary packages, users are free to continue using their systems. This gives you a experience similar to a live upgrade.

[[Category:How to]]
To use PreUpgrade to upgrade to a newer Fedora release:
[[Category:PreUpgrade]]
 
# Back up all important data before upgrading as a general best practise.
 
# Run the <code>yum update</code> command as root to make sure all packages are updated to their latest versions.
 
# Preupgrade is installed by default in recent versions. Run the <code>yum install preupgrade</code> command as root to install PreUpgrade otherwise.
 
# Run the <code>preupgrade</code> command as root to start the PreUpgrade application. If you prefer a command line application, run <code> preupgrade-cli </code> instead.
 
# Select the Fedora release you want to upgrade to on the ''Choose desired release'' screen, and click the ''Apply'' button.
 
# When all of the packages have downloaded, reboot your system to start the Fedora installer and upgrade to the next release.

Preupgrade is obsolete
Preupgrade does not at present and will not ever work for upgrading to Fedora 18, or any version after that. It was replaced by FedUp, which was itself replaced by the DNF_system_upgrade plugin.
