Most people who are serious about their computing have backups. When Windows 10 came along I bought a new SSD just to test it. On my Dell laptop I can change a disk drive within 30 seconds and put back my Windows 7 disk.
I'm using the free Macrium Reflect backup software to do frequent backups. I do a total restore within 10-15 minutes. A totally new install of e.g. Windows 7 would take weeks to restore all my settings. That is not an option for me. I had my Windows 7 system running now for over five years now.
PS! I have three SSD drives each with Windows 7, Windows 10 and Linux. Switching OS is a no brainer with my excellent Dell XPS laptop.
