Download Ubuntu 20.04
Though I would recommend to do a fresh install of the new LTS, you can now upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 beta (then upgrade to final from beta) directly from Ubuntu 18.04 and or Ubuntu 19.10.
1.) First make backup of all your important data.
2.) Disable all third-party PPAs (Software & Updates -> Other Software)
3.) open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command to install system updates.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
You may need to restart to apply the updates.
4.) Finally run command and click “Upgrade” to get started.
sudo update-manager -d
If you’re running on Ubuntu server without an UI, run sudo do-release-upgrade -d instead.
