Changing the kernel won’t delete your data. <br> <br>You can upgrade your droplet from the inside and your data will be intact but if you decide to downgrade or just rebuild the droplet from anther image, you <strong>will</strong> lose all of your data. <br> <br>You can upgrade your droplet to the latest Ubuntu version by running <pre>do-release-upgrade</pre> <br> <br>If that command isn’t found, you will need to install the <code>update-manager-core</code> package: <pre>sudo apt-get install update-manager-core</pre> <br> <br>I recommend taking a backup of your data anyway just in case.
I found something similar: <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-do-i-upgrade-a-droplet-s-ubuntu-distribution <br> <br>Pablo of vDevices.com said it will lose all datas.
