I've generally used
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=43

Generally, you should do an upgrade of the current version to make 
sure it is fully updated. Option only allow up to 2 versions from the 
current version, So it you want to go more than 2, would need to do 
it in 2 version steps. Then make sure to check for full updates 
before next step.

After the download, it has one do an command to reboot, and 
install the updates. 

Generally, do a bare metal backup before trying it, just in case 
something goes wrong. 

At my college, would generally do an update on one machine and 
do a clean install on another. Compare list of rpms since clean 
install would add rpms that an upgrade didn't, and then see 
packages not included in clean install.

Recently upgraded 3 of my 8 systems from 43 to 44, but not this 
one yet.
