I bought a laptop with Ubuntu 12.10 installed, but I lost the installation CD. Now I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04. Can I do this without the CD? My laptop has a microphone and webcam. Will these work after an upgrade?

That is no problem. Ubuntu is Open Source, ie, FREE. You can always download the latest version without any charge to you. However, if you wish to donate to the ubuntu project, that helps the cover the charges for development.
