If you have a big enough external drive use Clonezilla live distro to create a clone image. Then do a fresh install of 14.04 Want to get nifty: 1. export your package selections with dpkg get-selections to make reinstalling same stuff easier on the new system 2. move your home directory to a separate partition then you only have to write over the / with the fresh install, home directory can stay in place. (this could be done with a large external too, bit of a shuffle game) Let me know if you need more details (can't find on the internet).
