I have found the easiest way to upgrade is get the latest "Fedora-release" and "Fedora-release-notes" from the F13 mirrors and "rpm -Uvh" both rpm's into F12 , then do a "yum clean all" and lastly "yum upgrade" from command line . It will replace all your F12 rpm's with F13 rpm's and then you Reboot your computer into a F13 kernel, and the LAST thing you have to do is " rpm -qa | grep kernel" that will display all the F12 kernels left behind, you do a "yum remove" any kernels left behind. If I use the command line and Copy and Paste those old F12 kernels at "yum remove" it makes it easier. And very lastly you got a Brand Spanking new F13 to boot from. I have done a lot of F12 > F13 boxes that way without any problems.
