Replace Ubuntu with Zorin without affecting user data

Hi, welcome.

No, it is not possible to replace Ubuntu with Zorin and keep everything from data (/) .
You can backup data and specific folder only.
If you have Ubuntu on 2 separate partition, root on one and home on second, than you can use those "home" partition on Zorin

Then, off to the Rescuezilla and read and study.

It is a stand alone software and you need to create a bootable USB to use it. Whole procedure is in GUI and beginner friendly.

In fact, I made a Rescuezilla USBs and gave them as a Christmas gift for my husband in addition to his daughter. The super penguin is absolutely cute!

Alright, thanks.

I do not want to risk my data. I'll just follow backup and restore.
