I would like to install 10.10 preferably right now.
But I'm having issues, dist-upgrade won't upgrade me for 10.04 to 10.10.

I tried to go into my Update Manager, but it's not recognizing any new Ubuntu versions.
I don't particularly want to wipe my system, so what should i do?

There are a couple of commands listed here , and make sure release upgrade settings in the settings tab of the update manager is set to normal releases. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade

If you go to System > Admin > Software sources and then to the updates tab and look at the bottom right in the Release Upgrade box does it say Long Term Support Releases only? If it does click on it and select Normal releases and run Update Manager again.

Excellent! :-) Enjoy!

By the way, if it offers you a Partial Upgrade don't accept it!!! Come back here for further info.
Partial upgrades can go badly!
