LINUX: In-place upgrade of Mint 17.0 Qiana to Mint 17.1 Rebecca
ewemoa:
Just tried for 17 -> 17.2.
So far it seems ok.
Deozaan:
I'm still waiting on the Mint 17.2 XFCE's official release. But the upgrade from 17 to 17.1 went smoothly for me. I can't imagine it would get worse going from 17 or 17.1 to 17.2.

Did you mean Mint 13.04 to 17.2? The Cinnamon desktop is only up to version 2.6.13+ (Rafaela).
That's a big version jump for you. In-place upgrades began with Mint 17.0 so your only real alternative is to backup your home directory and do a clean install. Then migrate your data back. Also don't forget to export your favorites and back that file up too.
Luck!

May be you noticed already, but FWIW:
The upgrade path from Linux Mint 17 and 17.1 to Linux Mint 17.2 is now open for all editions (Cinnamon, MATE, KDE and Xfce).
Instructions on how to perform this upgrade are available at http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2871
