If your /home is on a seperate partition, start the installer - pick manual at the partition stage.
Select the existing / partition - Edit partition - Use as ext4,format and Mountpoint - / then save/close that window
Select the existing /home partition - Edit partition - Use as whatever it was previously, DO NOT FORMAT and Mountpoint /home - save and close that window
Check that the only partition that is going to be formatted is the existing / partition.
Carry on - that will install over the existing installation and use the old /home.
Use the same username though.
Always good to have backups though
