Install Catalina, reinstall
I am having problems with my 2012 imac.
Could I just reinstall Catalina without backing up (I have Time machine).
Will the installer leave my data along and just reinstall the OS?
Thanks Brian

Backup Is Not Required:
A backup would not be required. But I'd emphasize you back up your Mac, just incase anything goes wrong after the reinstall.
