It wont "upgrade" an older version, it just can be installed in it's place, but you can install it as a "dual boot" next to an earlier installed OS. Then you should be able to copy files over from the older OS to the newer OS, and finally if you want to get rid of the older OS, you can boot the live CD, and from it install the partitioner "gparted", and run it to remove the older OSs partition, and resize the newer OSs partition with the freed space, bit you have to knwo what you are doing.
Otherwise its safer and easier to just burn the files you want to rescue to a CD or DVD, or save them to a USB memory-stick.
