I want to upgrade to Bionic Beaver from 17.10, but the Software Updater says everything is up to date.

I followed this but at the step the upgrade button should pop in Software Updater it still says everything is up to date. I did change the settings to notify me for "Any new version".

What else could be wrong?

    Actually Ubuntu 18.04 *is not yet available for upgrade*. It says so right on their download page. You can only get it via clean install for now. Upgrade will be available later next month. – or29544 Apr 29 '18 at 09:06

The easiest way to upgrade Ubuntu to the next release is via sudo do-release-upgrade. But to be safe and avoid possible errors after the upgrade, make sure that your current release is up to date first:

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

You'll probably want to sudo apt autoremove useless packages too.

Finally make sure you have update-manager-core and start the upgrade:

sudo apt install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade -d
