It's F8 actually. The "core" terminology was dropped after FC6.

I'd advise against it. Fedora is not guaranteed to work even doing an
upgrade from one version to the next (I've done it but frequently I find
myself doing a fresh install after a while). It's almost certainly
easier to back up your user data (/home, /etc, /usr/local, ...) and
install from scratch. Take a list of your RPMs as well ('rpm -qa --last
> LIST') just in case.
