Hi Bora,
For a start, there are different ways people go about moving from one desktop environment to another. So I'm sure others will chirp in to offer other solutions which gives you a choice
As I prefer a system as clean as possible I would start with a clean, new home directory - renaming the old one before installation in case I want to keep my user name. Then I would selectively only copy over from the old to the new home directory what I really want and need.
But that's only me
If you would like to try this (there is nothing lost as you still have your old home directory, hopefully also as a backup on a different disk!) the steps depend on whether you're comfortable to use the terminal or want to solve as much as possible via a GUI.
