    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. – Marc Jul 31 '17 at 04:07
  • if your home and root are two different partitions, then simply choose to replace mint when installing Ubuntu. your home partition will be safe. – Nishant Bhakta Jul 31 '17 at 04:18
  • As far as I know this is only possible **If you have `/home` and `/` on two different partitions.** –  Jul 31 '17 at 05:13

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.
