I have a dual boot of windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I want to upgrade to 14.04 LTS (or any other newer LTS version). My questions are:

  1. Do I have to backup my data in Windows 7? (I originally used only Windows 7 and recently, my teacher made the dual boot for me to learn about Ubuntu.)

  2. How do I update to version 14.04 LTS without using any CD or USB?

Thank You

    12.10 is not LTS and why don't you just install 14.04? – xangua May 20 '15 at 04:44

As long as you do an In place Upgrade using the procedure suggested in the WIKI. You should be fine. However as a general recommendation you must always backup your data Unless you are 100% sure that whatever you are doing is not going to break your system.

I recommend backing up the Data first, Only then attempt an upgrade. You could also do a clean install of 14.04. Backing up the data should be your first priority before you upgrade anyways.!!
