With that in mind, if you do have an end-of-life release installed on a system you cannot just discard or re-deploy, you upgrade using xref:upgrading-fedora-offline.adoc[DNF System Upgrade]. Note that upgrades are only tested from the two previous releases.
=== Upgrading to a pre-release version using Gnome Software
Upgrading to pre-released versions of Fedora can be enabled in Gnome software using the following command:
----
gsettings set org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease true

Once the upgrade is complete, it is highly recommended to disable that function so you do not get unwanted future pre-releases. Running the same command in reverse accomplishes that:
----
gsettings set org.gnome.software show-upgrade-prerelease false
----
=== Upgrading using the Fedora installer (anaconda)?
Fedora releases up to Fedora 17 included upgrade functionality in the Fedora installer, anaconda.
