Dear Fedora Users,
I have just downloaded and booted up the Fedora Workstation Live 24 DVD. It seems that there is no option to upgrade my existing Fedora Workstation 23 to 24. The only option appears to be fresh new installation in which I would lose all existing data.
Please advise me on how I can achieve upgrade installation with Fedora Workstation 24 Live DVD.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,

I use "fedup --network 24". However, that is an alias for "dnf system-upgrade". See "man dnf.plugin.system-upgrade" for more details.

You don't need the DVD to do an upgrade — you do it within the installed system itself. Instructions are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading
You should also find an Upgrade option in Software in Fedora Workstation, for an all-GUI experience.
