If you don't have too much on that computer, you should probably just copy of your personal stuff and reformat it with the 14.04 version.   Nuke it from orbit...  it's the only way to be sure.

Man, it's been so long. I don't expect you to give me a step-by-step, but are the broad strokes that I would make a CD or DVD on another PC, then boot from that to do the fresh installation?
Is there a command I can run, then at boot the installation would begin? I assumed I was going to lose everything anyway - I'm good about backing up data.

Easiest way is to download the 14.04 ISO image and then use the "Startup Disk Creator" to create a bootable USB flash drive.  You then boot from the USB drive and follow the instructions.  

You should have everything you need on that older Ubuntu machine already, you just need to download the disk ISO.
