Upgrading Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 from 14.04 to 16.04

Upgrading Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 from 14.04 to 16.04

I was trying to install OpenFOAM using the Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 and I was struggling with the installation until I realized that I have not checked what Ubuntu version was installed in my Windows 10.


Of course, it was not the recommended one for OpenFOAM, the 16.04, it was the 14.04, and no matter what I did (lxrun /uninstall and then lxrun /uninstall) I was still getting the 14.04.

Then I've tried the sudo do-release-upgrade but I was getting a "screen is terminating" message and the upgrade aborted.
