I'm not surprised, I do something similar.

Either pull out the HDD, make a new install, replace the HDD and pull
the old data from it onto the new HDD, and put the old HDD on the shelf
as the backup.

Or, a new install goes onto a new computer.  By the time I get around to
doing an install, the newer OS is too bloated for the old hardware,
being too slow or simply impossible to run, and an upgrade becomes a
downgrade.  This has been my experience with Linux and Windows.
