Hi, looking for advice,
I have an older Dell with Xubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS), Qt Creator, other utilities and numerous project files.
I would like to clobber, overwrite the existing OS in favor of LL -- AND I want to preserve the projects, Qt etc.
The installation options are a little unclear to me -- The first option says "Erase Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and reinstall". Then there is the option to "Erase disk and install Linux". Both options come with stern warnings about programs and files being deleted.
I've only before used this second option on a different system, which was what I wanted -- clobbering W10 once and for all.
And if I install side-by-side, will Qt still be available from LL? Or should I just backup the projects and install LL afresh?

If not looking for things, I'm waiting for things.
