Windows 10 is not a rolling distribution like we use rolling in the Linux world. It has half yearly release upgrades, so its more like Ubuntu or Fedora than Arch.
They even used year and month number versioning until recently, with 1909, 2004 (released in May 2020 though) but now its changed to 20H2 and the next will be called 21H1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history

I have used Ubuntu since the first release and upgraded some systems half yearly, and others every second year and never had one fail so that I had to reinstall.
There have been some problems, but checking on those showed that it either was due to stupid misconfigurations on my part, or PPAs that I have added. And I always was able to get through the upgrade once I found the problem.
It has been years since I ran into any problem due to release upgrades, its about keeping a well maintained system, and knowing which PPAs can cause problems.
Use ppa-purge on the problematic PPAs, or just any if in doubt. This will uninstall packages from the PPA and where available install the versions from the Ubuntu repositories.

Thanks, that could have been it. I was very new to Linux at that point so it wouldn't surprise me if my PPAs were a mess.
