No, clearly not. In fact I somehow gleaned the exact opposite of what they said. Well, in my experience, installing a new OS is best with a fresh install, least bugs, driver issues, etc
A fresh install is definitely the way to go to keep issues and bugs at bay but not recommended if you're looking to keep your data. If you're feeling brave enough to do a fresh install just make sure you back up your data first and perhaps make a list of programs you'd like to reinstall. /u/Autumnal 's advice is sharp though, installing a fresh copy can avoid issues down the line.

Ok thanks :)
For the record I agreed with your sentiment on that.

Ok new question. How do I backup my data? As a gamer, I don't want lose game data.
