Upgrade 4.4 to 4.6 - richard.mockler - 09-06-2019
I have an HP laptop and an HP desktop, both running Linux Lite 4.4. When I saw that 4.6 is now available I booted up my laptop, did an update, then did the Linux Lite Upgrade option. The procedure ran to a successful completion, and now according to System Information, my Operating System on the laptop is now Linux Lite 4.6.
I went to my HP desktop and ran the same options and on the Linux Lite Upgade I got a screen that says "You are already running the latest release."
According to my System Information, Operating System on the desktop I am running Linux Lite 4.4. Why does it say latest release, and what do I do to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.6?

I solved this problem by doing exactly what I should have done but didn't do initially. I had just updated my desktop recently, so I didn;t think I needed to take the time to do it again before the upgrade. Mistake!! I then took the option to update 4.4 and it was huge. No doubt, there was code in there to prepare 4.4 for the upgrade to 4.6. Following the update, I took the upgrade option, and everything ran smooth as silk. So, my advice to anyone upgrading from 4.4 to 4.6 - Be certain that prior to upgrading, you run the update procedure.
