Re: Switching from Kubuntu to Debian(latest version)

You have 2 solutions :

- Install Debian as a third os, and copy all you need from Ubuntu.
- Change your Ubuntu to Debian. To do this you must :

- Choose the version of Debian, you need to use.

   - Choose your new graphical environment.
   - Adapt your repositories, clean and update your packages database.
   - Update Apt application.
   - Upgrade your app.

Yes. Copy all of your Data files to an external device... such as a USB
drive.**

for your Kubuntu they are Probably all in the /home directory

for Windows I am not familiar on where they are kept.

When you have them ALL safely copied off machine then proceed with
whatever method you like to install Debian.

After your install, form a Backup Plan for your Data (all of your
personal files), and Use that Backup routine Frequently.**
Best of luck!.

PS: installing Windows again may be a challenge. Figure out how to do
that First.
**system install is trivial, your Data is not replaceable. Backup!
