As you can see, I installed Kali on computer last year. When I ran uname -r, I saw that the version of Kali is old.

What can I do to upgrade?

Before running # apt upgrade, You need to run # apt update in order to check for updates. In case # apt update will not show any possible updates, please check /etc/apt/source.list (# nano /etc/apt/sources.list) and correct it.

I'm sorry for misleading, in my initial answer I made mistake: You need to check `/etc/apt/sources.list` (instead of /etc/apt source.list). In case sources.list empty - You need to update it. – Андрей Алампиев Aug 29 '18 at 11:23
According to apt update output, the sources list has to be updated. Please refer to [link](https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories) . – Андрей Алампиев Aug 29 '18 at 11:33
