I've recently purchased a second 2015 MacBook Pro to replace my original 2015 MBP (which has a hardware issue). I have a Time Machine backup and, I'm sure, I could easily restore everything from my old laptop to the new laptop. But, now I have a competing idea. Would it be better to manually reinstall all software and files onto the new MBP - just to have a clean copy of macOS? For grins I created a poll.
