How often do you reinstall Windows? (if applicable)

[MF-690T]

I'm running IoT LTSC and I'm planning on reinstalling it tomorrow after about 2 months. That probably sounds like a short amount of time, but it was once every week at one point. OCD n shiet.

You shouldn't have to often, if at all.

As for me? Idk, I have a portable NVME drive I use very rarely for the times I actually *need* Windows. I also dual boot Arch and W11 IoT LTSC literally just for gay jeet test proctor bullshit.

Usually only when I have performance/corruption issues, an issue I can’t fix, or a new OS is out. I don’t like reimaging often because I make a backup every single time and it takes up a lot of space. And no, I can’t delete them. What if I might one day need that 500gb backup I’ve never looked at in 3 years?!?

Nigga fuck ltsc i use several year old deprecated non supported windows 10 cuz im a fucking badass. And have nevr backed up or reinstalled. I constantly fck with the directory and index and pray nothing breaks. Some stuff is broken. But I manage. Because this computer is mine. there are many like it but this one is mine.

why do people continue to use a OS that requires constant reinstalling just to be functional? I wont even reinstall my horribly fucked linux installation let alone a windows install that takes forever, I need all 1200 of those packages goddamnit!
