Good to make backup of your /home before trying, better to be safe than sorry. The right procedure is described above, but if might be difficult if you are not a seasoned Linux user.

When you get Debian installed, you have to change the ownerhsip of the preserved /home to you, since Linux sees users as numbers, and it is changed even if you use the same username. To do that

Code:

sudo chown -R /home/$user/* $user:$user
$user is your username.
