Is your current F12 installation 32-bit or 64-bit? If it's 32-bit, I
think you'll need to do a complete install, not an upgrade. In that case
you can change the partitioning. For an upgrade, you can't. Of course
you can always change it beforehand using gparted if you're worried
about size.

Definitely. Best back up /home and create a new partition once and for
all. While you're at it, make sure /boot is at least 500MB in case you
want to use preupgrade in the future.
