This post will guide you on how to upgrade from F23 to F24 with Gnome.

First let’s start with a machine with Fedora 23 fully updated. IF you are new to fedora then you can simply do it by running $ sudo dnf update.

Once you are done, you will be ready to start off.

**Make sure you are not going to use your production machine as this test might result in data loss.

Enabling COPR repo : dnf copr enable rhughes/f23-gnome320
