Upgrading has always worked perfectly well for me,
and so has clean installation.

I don't understand why it matters how long it takes.
You don't have to sit there staring at the computer.
Watch a movie. Read a book.

As far as I am concerned, upgrading uses far fewer brain cells,
as I don't have to try to remember how to install
all the services I am running.
