updating 17.04 in 2020. An upgrade from 'zesty' to 'bionic' is not supported with this tool.

Asked by Joe Alt

I am trying to update my Laptop 32 bit to a higher version.
I followed these steps below and had no successful answer. Can you help me?

    Open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Settings.
    Select the 3rd Tab called "Updates".
    Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" dropdown menu to "For any new version".
    Press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -c" (without the quotes) into the command box.

Support for Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) has ended more than two years ago. Upgrading from a release that has already gone out of support is possible, but may require some additional steps.

What output do you receive when you execute the command

sudo do-release-upgrade

?
