I am currently using mint.How can I replace it with ubuntu without any data,files loosing?
Can anyone tell me how to boot only ubuntu without any personal data loss?
Thanks!
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.
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.
/home
and/
on two different partitions.
