Disasters are the rare, rare exception, not the norm. You're just more
likely to hear about them, because when things go right, people are
less likely to be asking for help with that.

That said, the least-risky way is to back up all of your important data
and configurations and do a fresh install. That avoids all of the
weirdness that sometimes happens when trying to transform an old system
into a current one.
