Well, I think the LTS installations at that time were supported for
5 years.  I am not sure that upgrading to 16 would still work.  The
usual is to do

sudo update-manager

and follow suggestions for how to upgrade distributions.  There is also
the more explicit

sudo update-manager -d

but it tends to offer updates to the newest release (possibly
prerelease) rather than the latest stable.
