[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1877439, member: 83420"] If your current OS is macOS Catalina and all you want to do is reinstall the same OS, then that is probably best done via Recovery Mode (Hold down Command plus R as you reboot the Mac. If it's an iMac, you are strongly advised to plug in the Keyboard as you would to charge it or use a wired KB). You can reinstall the current OS from Recovery. It will not affect any data, apps or settings on your Mac. I have done this many times in the past. But common sense says that a backup such as Time Machine or a Clone would be a sensible precaution.
