why don't you start here:

Please be careful with this piece of advice.
From the OP's present release (3.6) to the latest release (3.9), it is
probably easier to perform a full backup of your system and install a
fresh system onto the drive.
Upgrades are supported between releases immediately following it (i.e.
3.6 to 3.7; 3.7 to 3.8, 3.8 to 3.9, etc.) and not in larger steps. The
instructions explicitly state so.
From 3.6, your upgrade path either runs through 3.7, 3.8 towards 3.9
or through a full backup, towards 3.9 and a restore of your user data.
As you should make backups anyway (also for upgrades) and practice
your restore procedures regularly, I recommend doing a fresh install.
Cheers,
Rogier
