On my PC I never migrate major OS versions, I always and wipe and reinstall the OS at least once a year. On my phone I never restore a backup to a new phone, I always begin from a factory reset. My last phone lasted 3 years so at some point in there, I completely wiped it just to keep it cleaned up. I'm old enough to remember installing Windows 3.11 from dozens of 3.5" floppy disks, so a modern PC wipe and reinstall barely registers on the drama meter for me. In the same way that a server should be treated like cattle, not a pet, I also treat my PC and phone OS installs the same way. I don't spend so much time configuring them that wiping them hurts my feelings. I more prefer the speedup and cleanup benefits than I do preserving my (non-existent) deep configuration. Just as an example, on my phone, I routinely have the OS alphabetize my app icons. Trying to keep them configured in some kind of order just seems like more trouble than it's worth.
