You reinstall the OS every few years or when issues arise.

I haven't done it in roughly two years.

I never reinstall it unless it's a new motherboard or PC.

Only when issues arise and there are no simpler solutions, or when a new PC or MOBO is needed, I excel at maintaining a clean system.

It's a feeling that comes up when you're in the moment.

if the pc fails, i don’t reinstall—i already have a backup ready for a fast setup. Last time i did a full reinstall was before 2011, and i’m pretty sure that’s how it went.

I did it just because I don’t have the energy to remove everything, so I cleared everything out.

I've only tried it three times lately. I used Windows 7 before. As soon as Windows 8 was released, I switched over right away. I disliked it so much I went back to Windows 7. Recently, after installing a new SSD, I tried Windows 8 again with Windows 8.1 and haven't changed my operating system since.

It has been around for a very long time. Yet, I haven’t used it much since then, except during the early days when problems arose.

I only reinstall if there is a specific reason to, such as if there is an issue with my laptop. however, I haven't had to do a reinstall since about 3 months after I got it.
