It is, but it is something you need to be able to do. Hard drives just
stop, sometimes, or the cat pees in the power supply (bad for both,
that was!) and you need to have a plan of where all your docs are
backed up and where all your apps can be reinstalled from. If not, who
is it you should blame for your nightmare?

I upgraded an ancient machine (it has a genuine Windows XP sticker on
it) from 32-bit W8 to 64-bit W10, and it was a process, and it tooks
some planning and preparation, but I've got a spiffy and speedy clean
install. Now using ALL its RAM, it's a much more fun machine.

Dan Freeman, A Prince Among Men, spent some time as a traveling
trainer, and had to install piles of stuff on a regular basis. He said
that Freemanizing (tm) -- erasing everything and starting from scratch
-- was the best way to eliminate whole classes of problems with
performance, un-installable software, irreproducible bugs, and DLL
Hell. I agree.
