Answer: YES. This wasn't possible before, but now you can now update to 16.04 - with a little bit of work and patience.

Step 1: Update Windows to build #14936 or greater. (As of 2016-10-06, this is on the Windows Insider 'Fast Ring'.) To check your build number, first press 'Win+R' and then type 'winver' and ENTER.

Step 2. Install or Upgrade Linux using one of these three options:

Option A: If you have not yet installed the Linux Subsystem, you can simply install it from 'Add or Remove Windows Components' and it should install version 16.04 by default.

Option B: If you have already installed the Linux Subsystem and you want to keep your environment, you can update it to 16.04 by executing 'do-release-upgrade' from bash.
