   I don't use Mint, I use Ubuntu, but are you doing an in situ upgrade or   
   a overwrite fresh install?   
      
   I would say that if use the advanced/manual step for partitioning in   
   setup and you select the correct partition for "/" and "/home" and DO   
   NOT format "/home" that should work (*with the standard caveat:* you   
   should backup all before proceeding). Spinning hard drives are still   
   pretty cheap. Cloning to an external hard drive first means "you never   
   have to say sorry"  ;-)
