Upgrading Ubuntu 10.10

    Hello,
    I have an Asus netbook bought in 2012 (I think the model is 1015PX) with Ubuntu 10.10 installed.
    I know it is no longer supported :(. Things is, when I bought it, the support on it had just ended (I was not told this by the shop :mad:, but anyway...) and I only found out later.
    I have read that the only way to upgrade is to move to each subsequent version, to the latest.
    I am not technical at all and will not be able to do this on my own.
    My question is (hope that's OK to ask here :o): do you know if it is a costly (in terms of time) job, in case I decide to pay someone who knows about Linux to do the upgrade?
    Thanks in advance!

    Upgrade, best bet is a clean install and a save of your home folder files etc, and then put back on. Should only take half an hour. Find a young relative or somebody that can burn the latest ubuntu image to a cd/usb and do it for you. Its a simple process, dont waste money on paying somebody for such a trivial thing. ;)
