preupgrade
from a command prompt or the Run Application dialog. Provide the requested password for root authorization. - On the "Choose desired release" screen, enable "unstable test releases".

- Click Apply.
- A Window may pop up warning how much more free space of /boot is required for completion during the process, see methods to free more space in /boot.
- When the process completes, click Reboot.
- The system should reboot, perform the upgrade, and reboot into the new system automatically.
- Log in to upgraded system, open a terminal, file browser, or other system applications.
