High Jessica,

Right.
And that's good.

Yes.
Abd therefore there is no use in "over-installing".
As to my experience one does not gain anything.
It's better to save (backup) all of the data on an external drive and
then make a fresh install "from scratch".
Everything else only is a source for troubles.
