How to upgrade from Linux lite 4.8 to 5.. without reinstalling?
#6

From series to series ll4.x to ll5.0 is a new install..

As such I would suggest a back up of what you dont want to lose... Same as if you went from XP to Win7..


You'll find that an install  of LL is a quick breeze...
Nothing to what windows was.


Even though windows has a way to keep docs in the later versions of upgrades. Do you trust it?
Whether a usb/external drive, a shared folder, a NAS or cloud... or even a partition that's not OS (ie a data)
I would have a 2nd/replicate copy anyways..
