How could I forget that most obvious answer

@ the op,

Re-read craigevils' post(#10).

You really don't need to download an iso image and reinstall.
Debian,especially Stable will upgrade from one release to the next without breaking anything.
Provided you do the upgrade in a sensible way and read the relevant documentation.

I have no Idea what i am doing, I was following what these sites and manuals are telling me to do...I really need someone to do this for me.

No one can actually "do it for you" unless you make arrangements to meet them somewhere. At your own risk, you could certainly contact members privately to try and arrange such a thing.

We at LQ are best prepared to help you by giving the steps and then answering questions when you get stuck.

First, repeating the basic steps:

Download a CD or DVD image (AKA "iso file") from the Debian website or one of the mirrors.
burn this image to a CD or DVD, as appropriate.
Boot the computer from the new disk (If necessary, change the BIOS settings to enable booting from CD/DVD)
Follow the installation instructions.

For more help, ask us specific questions---first, on the detailed steps and later if you get stuck on something.
