It's a little more complicated than that.  The manual 
upgrade process is described at the link below.  It involves 
installing the new repository links into your 
/etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and running yum upgrade.  It 
then would use all of the packages and upgrade everything on 
your system.  It is the procedure that preupgrade replaces. 
  I used it for an upgrade from F5 to F7 and it worked.

These are the current instructions for upgrading from a DVD. 
  I haven't done this, but if you can get it started it will 
use your local packages for the upgrade.

These are the instructions for a manual live upgrade, where 
you do all the work of preupgrade, which is your situation.

As far as the .img file, if you can find it on the mirrors, 
and put it in one of the  locations where preupgrade expects 
to find it, you could just complete your preupgrade 
installation.
