How to upgrade from Mint 17RC to full final release

[Doruletz]

Hi.
I just bought a new PC (see specs bellow).

I installed the new Linux Mint 17 Qiana MATE RC (release candidate). All is good, everything works fine for now.

My question is:
Once the full, final release of Linux Mint 17 Qiana MATE becomes available, what exactly do I need to do to upgrade from RC to final release without having to re-install the whole OS ????
Will all this do the trick for me???

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo update-grub

Pleas answer, and if possible, provide a step-by-step to follow for the upgrade.

Thanks.

Hello, Doruletz.

Kindly wait for the Linux Mint 17 (final) to be released. Then follow the instruction which will come with it.

Kind regards,
