Have a working 18.04 on USB and a 16.04 on a NUC.
If I install 18.04 will I lose my 16.04 settings.
Do not want to upgrade directly from 16.04 as I encountered internet connections when I tried it before.

You can copy home directory to a safe place using rsync, (or the GUI grsync).
After upgrade to 18.04, you can replace the new home with the copy.

You will need to reinstall any user installed programs you want to keep.
