Upgrading via Ubuntu update utility or Ubuntu software center is recommended if you really want to. Those iso images are used for new installation only and you may lose files which are on Ubuntu partition.

I have upgrade my Ubuntu 14.04 to 15.04 without losing any data on my partition. You can save your data on another partition for being cool.

I've step my upgrade like this:

  1. Connect to root (sudo su). After, edit the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades line prompt=lts to prompt=normal (with vim or another editor)
  2. After saving the modification, just type do-release-upgrade

With this step, my upgrade just work fine and all data still here. Cannot say it's ok for another method, but pretty sure it's okay.
