Hello.
Switching from Windows to Linux.

Answer 2

Linux is updated using the GUI for the package manager. Most distributions (including Ununtu) will offer and do everything themselves.
But I recommend just a clean install of 16.04 - it's easier and faster.

Switching from Windows to Linux.

And why do you think that you are switching if you have a very superficial understanding of Linux? I advise you to work with him first in a virtual machine: suddenly you don’t like it.

Answer 3

terminal and there
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get upgrade

Answer 4

You will also have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, since most likely the distribution has ended support and packages from standard sources are no longer available.

Answer 5

Linux is the kernel. The kernel in the distribution is updated by the regular package manager. The regular package manager has a graphical add-on above it. Boot into the system and read what you will be asked.
