Smile Upgrading from Linuxmint 17.1 to 17.2 cinnamon desktop version


I was wondering if anyone knows how to up grade is it as easy as running the iso for the program. When, i installed 17.1 on my computer i had to go into the bios settings to get my computer to boot by cd rom did the settings change or can i just pop in the cd and go. By the way thank you everyone for being so helpful.

Under normal circumstances you don't have to perform any upgrade. Mint 17.2 is merely an updated release of Mint 17.1 release which itself is just an update of the first Mint 17 release. You will get all the latest packages through the Update Manager which will update your Mint version to the latest version.
