You can install y7 over 6, keeping your home folder. In the disk choice part of the wizard, choose 'something else', then make sure you mount your existing root filesystem as '/', and allow the installer to format. Keep your existing swap space intact. Next, mount your existing '/home' as such, but make sure you do not allow the installer to format. Finally, be sure to choose the same username as you did in the first installation. When you boot the new system, your user data will be as they were in the old system.
