    Always, always, always plan for data loss. You should be backing up your user data regularly, and you really need to back it up before you upgrade, reinstall, or install a new operating system. Installing Ubuntu from a live USB should give you the option to replace Mint with Ubuntu without overwriting your data. I've found it to be generally reliable, but I always backup my data first.

  • if your home and root are two different partitions, then simply choose to replace mint when installing Ubuntu. your home partition will be safe. Jul 31, 2017 at 4:18
  • As far as I know this is only possible If you have /home and / on two different partitions.

create partitions and install Ubuntu along with mint OS after that move all your personal data from mint to Ubuntu folder once you with that you can uninstall mint.
