You are running an EOL system and want to now install a new system
which will shortly be EOL as well.  That is not the best way forward.

You would be better off unstalling a system that will be supported for
the next 6 months to a year - i.e. install f16 is better in my view -
of course you are entitled to go whichever path you choose.
