True or False: If the install fails during a clean install, you can revert to a previous operating system.

When performing a clean install of an operating system, the process typically involves formatting the existing system partitions, which removes the previous operating system and all associated data. Because of this, if the clean install fails, there is no direct way to revert to the previous operating system, as the necessary data and system files have been deleted during the formatting process.

This makes the statement false because, without a successful installation or backup, there's no operation to fall back on. If proper precautions, such as backing up data or creating recovery media before starting the clean install, have not been taken, a failed installation leaves you without access to the prior operating system or data.
