I need hardware support afforded by the newer kernel, so I'm looking to upgrade, but I have only seen instructions relating to desktop editions and need guidance for upgrading Ubuntu Server.

You don't need to upgrade the release, you can upgrade only kernel by running

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge

This will install kernel from 17.04.

To make use of the new kernel, reboot. GRUB2 will automatically picks the latest kernel.
