If by previous upgrades you are referring to your data and programs: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5435/will-there-be-data-loss-for-upgrade – WxPilot May 28 '14 at 16:27

Is your Home directory located on the same partition as your Ubuntu? If it is, you may need to back up you Home before you upgrade. Also, you could experience some minor compatibility issues with your upgrade. I did not, but some have. – RCF May 28 '14 at 16:40

The best way to add additional information to your question is by editing it, with the edit button. It is better visible that way, and comments are mainly for secondary, temporary purposes. Comments are removed under a variety of circumstances. Anything important to your question should be in the question itself. – guntbert May 28 '14 at 20:34

You will not lose any files/data when you do an upgrade using the command:
sudo apt-get upgrade
What los-teh told is also true. You can lose some software/libaries what are not comatible with Ubuntu 14.04, but most software for Ubuntu 13.10 will also work on 14.04.
Good luck with the upgrade!

Your files / Data should be safe, but you should always back up your data as precaution
With regards to software/libraries - you may loose some applications if your PPAs arent yet compatible with 14.04
