When upgrading to a new series (4 to 5), it's not always best to preserve the /home partition, since the Xfce desktop upgrades as well, and your old desktop settings may mess up the new desktop. Instead, copy all your bookmarks, photos, documents, etc. to a thumbdrive and copy them back to your new fresh install of of 5.4.
Within a series, though, you can choose "something else" at installation when offered the partitioning choice, then uncheck "format this partition" to preserve the /home partition.
