I have a netbook that we're given during high school for educational purposes, which has a Linux, and now that I'm in college I want to start using it. It has Ubuntu 10.~ and when I use the sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade it gives the message "0 things found, 0 to be updated".
I would just format the PC if I could and install 14.04 from a USB like the guides say, but it is still protected with a program that prevents you from altering the PC like that.
Could someone point me in the right direction? Can Ubuntu be 'forcefully' upgraded?
Thanks
