Your answer has nothing to do with the original question which is related to upgrade method and not condition for reinstalling without loosing data.
After 40 years of upgrading many different operating systems, Windows (from 3.1 to 10), CentOS 6 to 8, Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, AT&T Unix, VAX VMS; I have never observed an upgrade from one major version to the next to work. The last one I tried using their "upgrade process" was Ubuntu 18 to 19. Didn't work.
It is not true for the VAX/VMS. My first version was 1.0. And it was working (sometimes) for Fedora. BR, Bob
