      The update functionality for older versions to upgrade to the new version will be released a few weeks after the iso release of Linux Mint 22. It’ll be an available upgrade in the Software Update Center application.

      Open the Update Manager (click on the little shield icon down near the clock) and click Edit > Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.

      Their website will have more thorough details.

      Mint for years but i forget. In the updates make sure fully updated first. Then i remember some sort of upgrade command.

      Im not much help but i think i did it once. Or you can preserve your home folder, broweser bookmarks, etc… the load the new os from scratch, but im sure theres an upgrade option.
