Hi Robert. It should not be too hard to preserve your data across Operating System versions.
The right way to do this is to have your home directory on a separate partition from your OS, this means that you can potentially boot into one OS access some specialised software and write a document and then reboot into a different os and load the same document. To get their from having one big partition, you will need to create a new partition, copy data to it and then do your OS upgrades.
