Yeah, the amount of "just reinstall windows" is staggering. I still use Windows 10 on my laptop, the same install that the laptop came with, a bit over 6 years ago. If you know to take good care (and don't have sketchy or faulty hardware/drivers) windows can be rock solid too. After I got the Pro licence key and disabled automatic updates (was a bit of a hassle) I even got a 100 day uptime (a bit by mistake, I usually try to do the updates and restart about once per month). I wouldn't know to take as good care or to troubleshoot if I simply went the way of "just reinstall it". I always try to find out what the problem is and how it can be solved. Sometimes it is a very quick/easy fix. I have some friends that still think that you should reformat+reinstall every 6 months to a year or so. And me in 24 years I've never reinstalled Windows in order to fix it, only to upgrade it. Jeez.
