It's your choice. I am only suggesting the process as the definitive way to
do a clean install. Most people simply restore from a backup, which, in
essence, might be bringing back problematic settings or software onto the
system. If you manually restore your data, you can do it little by little and
test what effects what as you add it back.

Oh yuck! Fun! I've never had to do that yet . I think I've ben lucky. And I
work Monday Yeah this is going to be so much fun. I guess I could start
tomorrow and just get the main stuff done and set up. I hope that with all of
this effort I can at least get a somewhat smooth system. Yuck city. Guess i
could probably start the process when I go to sleep tonight or something.
I shoudl add I have a thum drive wiht high sierram on it. Should I just use
that and whipe the internal completely? I'm thinking I probably should.
Take care

You'd have to physically copy the apps from the backup apps folder and go
into your library preferences and the application support folders to move
the keys and other preference files. Again, it's a lengthy process that
requires a lot of care and attention, but it can be done. I've gone through
it twice over the years.

over to.

I believe you can use migration assistant to do this. However, if you
really want to go the distance as I have done, I'd backup the system using
a CCC or Super Duper and do a complete clean install. After that, I'd
manually move over my apps and the preferences little by little and bring
back your documents folder and such at your leisure. Obviously, this would
require a lot of time and patience, but it's the best way to fully start
from scratch.

Well I'm thinking of doing a clean install of sierra and just installing
my apps, not my settings or user data. Can I do this using the migration
wizard I'm redoing the clean install to see if the odd password issue
I'm having will go away. I doubt it as I'm having other issues . Setting
everything up is going to be a pain in the back side such as my hazel, or
maybe not. I think my keys will also be copied over, but still. That's
all I really want. The rest of the mac I can slowly set up, I hope. Take
care all.
