Reason I suggested a parallel installation is that I had an unrecoverable freezeup just 10 days ago. I tried every trick in my bag but none worked, down time - 3 days. As a last resort I did what I suggested above and was back online in 1 1/2 days. My system needed a purge anyway, got rid of unused, outdated programs and did a fresh install and it runs faster than before.
Good luck!
