Pop_OS 21.10 is here! It comes with great new features like a brand new application launcher, Gnome Shell version 40, and many other things. In this guide, we\u2019ll go over how to upgrade your system to the new Pop_OS 21.10.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before we begin<\/h2>\n

This guide assumes you are using Pop_OS 21.04. If you are using the long-term release of Pop_OS still (20.04), you\u2019ll have to upgrade to 21.04. Upgrading should be possible through the \u201cOs Upgrade & Recovery\u201d area.<\/p>\n

For more information on upgrading from 20.04 to 21.04, follow our in-depth guide on the upgrade process.<\/p>\n

Create a backup<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before attempting to upgrade to the newest release of Pop_OS 21.10, it might be good to create a backup of the system. Of course, creating a backup isn\u2019t required, as the Pop_OS upgrade process is very safe and efficient. However, it is still a good idea.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to create backups in Pop_OS. However, the best way to do it is via Deja Dup. Here\u2019s how you can create a backup with it.<\/p>\n

First, install Deja Dup on your computer by opening up a terminal window. You can also search for \u201cDeja Dup Backups\u201d in the Pop Shop. Once the terminal window is open, install the latest version of Deja Dup.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install deja-dup\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the software on your computer, open it up on your computer. With it open, find the \u201cCreate My First Backup\u201d button. Then, go through Deja Dup and create the system backup of your Pop_OS computer.<\/p>\n
Note: Need some help backing up your Pop_OS system with Deja Dup? We can help! Follow along with our in-depth guide on how to create a backup with the Deja Dup program.<\/p>\n
When the backup is complete, take your backup and place it in a safe place (a flash drive, external hard drive, your cloud account, or a home server\/file share).<\/p>\n
Downloading the upgrade<\/h2>\n
To download the latest Pop_OS update on your computer, you\u2019ll need to open up the \u201cSettings\u201d area. To launch the \u201cSettings\u201d window on your Pop_OS computer, press the Win<\/strong> key on the keyboard.<\/p>\n
Once you press the Win<\/strong> key, you\u2019ll see the Gnome Shell search box. In this box, type in \u201cSettings.\u201d Gnome Shell will show you search results upon typing in the \u201cSettings\u201d keyword.<\/p>\n
Look through the search results for \u201cSettings\u201d and click on it with the mouse. When you\u2019ve selected \u201cSettings,\u201d the Pop_OS settings window will open up. From here, scroll down and locate the \u201cOs Upgrade & Recovery\u201d option and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Inside the \u201cOs Upgrade & Recovery\u201d area, you should see a notification that \u201cPop!_OS 21.10 is available.\u201d Find the green \u201cDownload\u201d button and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
When you select the green \u201cDownload\u201d button, your Pop_OS system will begin downloading the operating system upgrades. These downloads will take a bit of time to complete, so be patient.<\/p>\n
Upgrading to Pop_OS 21.10<\/h2>\n
Upgrading to Pop_OS 21.10 is done entirely within the UI. To start, go back to the \u201cOS Upgrade & Recovery\u201d section in the \u201cSettings\u201d window. Once you\u2019ve made it to this section, find the green \u201cUpgrade\u201d button and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n
Upon selecting the \u201cUpgrade\u201d button, a pop-up window will appear. In this window, you will see the release notes for Pop_OS 21.10. These notes include information about new features, bug fixes, and changes. Feel free to read the notes to learn about what is changing in the OS.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve read through the notes for the upgrades, find the \u201cReboot & Upgrade\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Selecting this button will reboot Pop_OS into an upgrade process.<\/p>\n
With Pop_OS rebooted, the upgrade will begin. Sit back, and allow the Pop_OS upgrade tool to install the downloaded updates to your system. This process will take a long time, especially if you have a slow hard drive on your computer.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll need to reboot Pop_OS a second time when the upgrade process is complete. Thankfully, Pop_OS will restart automatically. Once it is done restarting a second time, log into your system using your username and password.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After logging in, you\u2019ll be using Pop_OS 21.10. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve made it to the official download page, find the \u201cDownload\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. From there, select your version of 21.10 to download to your computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
