Hi Howard,
I have all my data stuff backed up regularly. It's just a pain to do all
the programs after a clean install so hopefully, this will work. It may be
a few days before I get the necessary help, but we shall see.

The only comments I would add to Steve's instructions is to be patient as
some of the reboots seem to take longer then when doing a fresh install.
Don't be confused by the rather generic screens, they will make you think
you are doing a new fresh install.
I would recommend backing up your data just in case. You are doing this
regularly anyway, right?
