- Choose Fedora 42 (Branch) from the list of available upgrade targets, then click Apply.
- 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.

- The user is not prompted to address low disk space in /boot
- The system should be upgraded to new version without error.
- The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly.
